Carr has announced that Richard Beel has been elevated the role of Associate Director, further bolstering its executive leadership team.

Holding 19 years of architectural experience, Beel’s cross-disciplinary approach has seen him work across a multitude of sectors during his time as a built environment professional.

Beel’s work in delivering a number of multi-residential projects for the practice is attributed to his promotion. 

Following the completion of Camberwell’s Victoria & Burke complex in 2022, Beel is now involved as the Project Lead on a number of high-end and complex multi-residential projects across Brighton and Brunswick.

Beel says his knowledge of designing for lifestyle while imbuing quality has enabled him to design across a number of locations and demographics.

“To me, quality design encompasses so much more than style or aesthetics. It represents embedded values and principles.

“Architecturally speaking, I believe quality design is made up of how it emotionally resonates with the client and user. Factors such as if it’s fit for purpose; if the design is enduring and how it responds to context. 

“Quality architectural design begins when all these considerations are addressed. Importantly, design quality shouldn’t be limited to a select few. At Carr, we strive to apply these design values to all our projects regardless of scale, price point and demographic.”

Carr Managing Director Chris McCue says Beel’s promotion is a logical one following his service to the practice.

“The elevation of Richard Beel to associate director is in recognition of his enormous contribution to the large project scale sector of Carr’s portfolio,” he says. 

“Having successfully delivered Victoria & Burke in 2022, and with The International Brighton and Brunswick Yard due for completion in 2023, Richard continues to design and deliver projects of great complexity. 

“With a highly detailed heritage project in documentation, I welcome him formally into the executive leadership role.”
