Recent acclaimed public buildings are a new public library and cultural space at Canada Water in Rotherhithe and a Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre in Nottingham.
Piers’ notable masterplans include the Crown Street Regeneration masterplan for the Gorbals in Glasgow, the latter having won universal acclaim as an exemplar of inner city regeneration. More recently, the Brewery Square redevelopment in central Dorchester encompassing the listed buildings of the Eldridge Pope site; the Arsenal Stadium masterplan in Highbury and Berkeley Home’s award winning Kidbrooke Village regeneration scheme in Greenwich.
Piers was appointed a CBE for services to architecture in the 1998 Queen’s Birthday Honour List.
