Hugh is an architect and is considered one of the world’s leading designers of science research facilities in Antarctica. His completed projects include Halley VI British Antarctic Research Station, the world’s first relocatable polar research station and Juan Carlos 1 Spanish Antarctic Base on Livingstone Island. Ongoing projects include the redevelopment of Scott Base for Antarctica New Zealand on Ross Island; a series of projects for the Australian Antarctic Division in East Antarctica as part of their Antarctic Infrastructure Renewal Program; and the Discovery Building at Rothera Research Station, designed in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey’s Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme. Alongside work in the polar regions, the other mainstay of Hugh’s career has been working on heritage projects of international significance. Recent award-winning projects include the conservation and interpretation of Sir Christopher Wren’s Painted Hall in the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich and of the medieval Clifford’s Tower in York for English Heritage
