Chris Lamborn

“Transport projects are shaped by so many forces. It’s exciting to work through that complexity to find a solution that hits the mark – especially for the community.”

Chris is an experienced architect with a list of headline transport projects to his name – from Melbourne Metro and Sydney Metro North West in Australia to Crossrail in London. Through more than 25 years in the industry, he’s developed a sixth sense for navigating the many layers (and players) involved in these pivotal developments.

Whatever the project type or size, Chris believes the best long-term solutions emerge from a meticulous, collaborative process. It’s about exploring and analysing options with our clients and partners and drawing on a deep well of evidence to achieve great outcomes. 

But he’d say the most satisfying part of his job is seeing the benefits flow far beyond a project’s boundaries, making cities healthier, more productive places to live, work and meet.
