We are led by six principals, each recognised leaders in their fields. Founding principal and award-winning architect Kai Chen is responsible for design direction and, with principal Milica Tumbas, the management of architectural projects. Peter Lovell, a key participant in the fields of heritage and conservation practice, and also a founding principal, leads project teams in both areas. The heritage team is led by principals Kate Gray, Adam Mornement and Katherine White, and the practice principal is Anne-Marie Treweeke.

Whether we are designing a new building or adapting a heritage structure, providing conservation management advice or strategically planning managed change of a heritage place, developing a master plan or carrying out detailed restoration, our approach is based on an understanding of place. We find solutions, intelligent creative cost-effective solutions that respond to client ambitions, site constraints and statutory requirements.

Lovell Chen works on built environment projects of all types and sizes, from large scale former industrial complexes to individual houses and structures. Our architecture, conservation and heritage teams work collaboratively, with clients and project team members, to deliver a truly integrated service.
