Clare Lane

Clare joined P+HS Architects in 2000, following her graduation from the University of Sheffield, and brings extensive experience across the residential sector, with particular expertise in affordable housing, care and support, masterplanning and regeneration.

As one of P+HS Architects’ Residential Leads, Clare is at the forefront of residential design across the practice. Working alongside fellow Residential Leads, she helps share knowledge on emerging legislation, policy and guidance, promoting best practice and supporting a consistent approach to residential design across our studios.

Clare’s experience in masterplanning ranges from small-scale affordable infill developments in sensitive locations through to large residential masterplans of more than 600 homes. She particularly enjoys working in partnership with affordable housing providers and has developed long-standing relationships with clients through the delivery of residential, care and support projects from early feasibility and consultation through to completion.

Alongside project delivery, Clare contributes to wider thinking within the residential sector through white papers, client knowledge-sharing sessions, conferences, and round tables. She has also worked with national organisations including RIBA and Housing LIN, contributing to discussions around emerging policy and best practice. Clare is experienced in Building for a Healthy Life assessments and the application of national planning and design guidance.

Clare is also passionate about supporting the next generation of architects and particularly enjoys mentoring colleagues with a developing interest in residential design.
