His focus in innovative timber construction using homegrown UK timber alongside low embodied carbon technologies and supporting locally made construction products have led to projects that have helped promote and steer our construction sector towards a low carbon future.His passion for community projects led to winning bids to develop a greening scheme in south London supported by the Mayor of London and to developing design proposals with The Friends of Streatham Hill Theatre who are campaigning to bring the theatre back into community use.Poroban has recently been selected alongside partner organisation Troika Projects, to design the new Hastings Castle Visitor Centre, replacing the current West Hill Cafe. Following a competitive evaluation process Hastings Borough Council has selected partner organisation Troika Projects, alongside emerging London Architects, Poroban, to design and deliver a new visitor centre for the Hastings Castle site. The winning proposal includes a café, restaurant, retail and community space, new interpretation and a visitor experience that retells the story of Hastings Castle.
