Ben Prince, Strategic Ambassador

Ben studied architecture at the University of Bath and completed his part 2 at the University of Liverpool, before working for award winning Liverpool Practice Brock Carmichael Architects, on projects such as Southport College, Liverpool Hope University, Bickershaw Zero Carbon Housing, and the Liverpool Science Park.

He set up his own practice, Prince Architects, in 2010, based in the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool. The practice has a collaborative approach to design, based on the belief that good design is not exclusive, and that a close working relationship with the client is key to achieving the most successful design solutions.

This collaborative ethos provides opportunities for innovative ways of working, both on individual schemes, as well as with other practices and designers to tackle a range of project types and sizes, and is also reflected in nature of the work with PlacED.

Outside his practice work, Ben teaches on the architecture course at the University of Liverpool, and is currently working on developing better housing models, using custom build as a platform for involving future occupiers in the design process for volume housing, to provide improved space standards, excellent environmental performance and better value.
