Tricia Patel, an equity partner and a design workshop leader who joined PTE in 1991, is renowned for delivering large-scale, award-winning residential-led regen projects.

She places a commitment to working with communities at the heart of her approach, pairing years of design experience with deep-dive consultation. Her enthusiasm, and talent for listening, uncovers what clients and user groups really want from their projects.

She is as adept at repairing existing neighbourhoods in need of care as she is taking on tricky projects which have stalled under the guidance of others, rebooting them for their clients and communities.

Tricia is PTE’s ambassador for young people and a winner of the Architectural Mentor award from education charity Open City.
