Joel Pacini

Joel joined CGL in January 2024 and has experience across residential, arts and cultural projects. His work combines technical rigour, architectural quality, and environmental sustainability, with a particular interest in residential and civic architecture as part of urban regeneration.

Key projects include Albert Jacob House, a social housing development for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, where he gained experience in affordable housing, public realm improvements, and community-centred design. Joel is currently working on Pedro Street, further developing his expertise in residential-led regeneration of sustainable neighbourhoods and technical delivery at RIBA Stages 4-5.

He completed his BA at Newcastle University, MA at The University of Edinburgh and Part III qualifications at the University of Westminster. His master’s thesis explored affordable housing in Berlin, structured around the city's Kleingarten (allotment) typology; and furthered their integration within new and existing food-growing networks to sustain an increasing urban population.
