A New Chapter at Stanley Bragg Architects
We’re excited to share an important new chapter at Stanley Bragg Architects, as our leadership team evolves from within the practice.
James Osborne has been appointed Director, joining Andrew Cullen, who continues in his role. We are also delighted to announce the promotion of Brandon Clemenson and Abbi Waite to Associates.
This transition builds on the strength of our team and ensures that clients will continue working with the people they know and trust.
Our leadership team
Andrew Cullen continues as Director, providing stability, hands-on guidance, and a clear focus on design quality. He has served as a Director for over 17 years, combining day-to-day oversight with long-term strategic vision, ensuring projects are delivered with clarity and care.
James Osborne joins Andrew as a Director of the practice. Since arriving in 2015, James has led projects across housing, education, and mixed-use. A Certified Passivhaus Designer, he brings design leadership and a strong track record in sustainable, collaborative working, helping to steer projects from concept through to delivery.
Brandon Clemenson has been promoted to Associate. With ten years at the practice, Brandon leads on sustainability and building performance. A Certified Passivhaus Designer, he combines a strong technical skill set with a passion for low-carbon design — ensuring projects perform as well as they look.
Abbi Waite has also been promoted to Associate. With nearly 10 years of experience across Essex and AJ100 practices, Abbi has a strong track record in large-scale residential masterplanning. She has led applications for award-winning schemes and is recognised for her clear communication and rigorous coordination, turning ambitious concepts into buildable outcomes.
After more than 28 years of working for Stanley Bragg Architects, Graeme Roe becomes Consultant. He will remain closely involved in projects and mentoring, offering continuity and trusted experience to both clients and colleagues.
“I’m proud to see James step up as Director, with Brandon and Abbi joining as Associates. This transition comes from within the practice, giving our clients continuity while also bringing fresh energy and focus to the way we work.”
“Becoming a Director is a privilege, and I’m looking forward to working alongside Andrew as we guide the practice forward. With Brandon and Abbi stepping into Associate roles, I’m excited about the energy and perspective we can bring as a team. Most of all, I’m grateful for the trust of our clients who make this work possible.”
“It’s been a privilege to serve as Director for the past 17 years. I’m proud of the practice we’ve built together, and delighted to see Andrew, James, Brandon, and Abbi shaping its future. I look forward to continuing to support projects and colleagues as the practice grows into its next chapter.”
Looking ahead
We look forward to this next chapter with renewed energy — carrying forward our values of good design and sustainability, supported by the same trusted team.
