Pitzhanger Manor is West London’s largest and most successful contemporary art gallery. It is a vibrant and dynamic resource for residents with strong artistic and educational links. Designed by George Dance in the mid 18th century, it was substantially re-modelled by Sir John Soane as his country home in the early 19th century.

The internal rooms formed a model for much of Soane’s later work, now seen to dramatic effect at The Soane Museum in London. Pitzhanger Manor is set within the original Soane estate of Walpole Park that now belongs to the Borough of Ealing.

It is a Grade 1 listed building and is in need of a new vision to enable it to meet the needs of users in the 21st century. George’s role, as Client Design Advisor in the stakeholder team, has been to support best practice project strategy and overall design quality.
