A graduate of the famed Liverpool School of Architecture, Denny first joined Colman Architects following the completion of his professional qualification and registration as an Architect.

Prior to joining the practice, Denny gained significant experience in large scale residential projects, focusing on the design and delivery of both multiple private and affordable housing schemes throughout the UK. Whilst many of the larger housing developments undertaken were New Build projects, Denny was also employed on numerous schemes relating to the conservation, refurbishment and redevelopment of existing and listed buildings including the joint extension and conversion of an 1850’s orphanage, within a Conservation Area of Islington, into 33 private residential units with an integrated children’s nursery located below a central courtyard. He has also assisted on the phased refurbishment of the Grade 2* listed Midland Hotel in Manchester.

Denny has continued to work on the refurbishment of heritage assets during his time at Colman Architects and is currently the Senior Architect on renovation projects within the East Marylebone Conservation Area and at the Grade 2* listed Kensington Roof Gardens. Whilst primarily involved in the design and realisation of retail projects, Denny is also currently in the process of delivering a £5m cinema in Harlow, Essex and an upmarket office scheme in Central London.

Having previously competed in the West Essex Championships at athletics, Denny is a keen sportsman and currently represents a number of football teams during the course of the week. When outside of the UK, Denny also enjoys to Scuba Dive, and has obtained an Advanced Open Water PADI Qualification, affording him the opportunity to have dived at some of the best dive sites around the world.
