VICKY CHEN

Associate Director

Vicky joins Sybarite as an Associate Director with over 11 years of experience in architecture and interior design in the EMEA & APAC construction industry. Vicky has managed and worked around a range of new build, redevelopment, and listed status projects, in the UK and Asia, up to £450M. These span from mixed-use developments, corporate/media/tech workspace, office, cultural, educational buildings, residential, retail and commercial properties. Over the past few years, her prime focus has been as the project lead delivering the WPP London campus project in London’s South Bank.

She has experience running, overseeing and delivering on multiple complex projects at various scales. Her set of skills is wide-ranging, from the management of the project program, consultants, cost review, resources and contract management, to developing creative strategies to increase efficiency on-site and bringing more value to clients. She is a highly driven and organised individual familiar with succeeding in high pressure environments and delivering on projects successfully while maintaining flexibility to adapt to new challenges that might present themselves.

She is a British-trained architect of Chinese descent with multi-lingual proficiency in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. She brings her native Chinese expertise into projects in terms of culture, business development and sustainability.

Whilst working at Foster + Partners, she worked with reputable Chinese developer clients, LDI and local authorities to design and deliver large-scale mixed developments in China, and routinely consulted as a cultural adviser for the steering of Chinese business development.
