Crosby Granger Architects promote Luke Jackson to Associate Architect
Crosby Granger Architects has promoted Senior Architect Luke Jackson to Associate, recognising his contribution to the leadership, design work and strategic development of the Kendal-based practice.
Luke joined Crosby Granger Architects in 2024 and has since taken a leading role in the management and delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects.
His work ranges from sensitive interventions within historic buildings and landscapes to new rural development and long-term estate planning.
A significant part of Luke’s recent work has been the development and implementation of the Higham Whole Estate Plan near Cockermouth. The plan, which was endorsed in 2025, was only the second Whole Estate Plan to be completed within the Lake District National Park.
Chris Granger, Managing Director of Crosby Granger Architects, said: “Luke has made a significant contribution to the practice since joining us. He combines strong design and technical abilities with the strategic thinking needed to lead complex projects and co-ordinate large consultant teams.
“His work on the Higham Whole Estate Plan has been particularly important, both for the estate itself and in developing an area of expertise in which Crosby Granger Architects is becoming increasingly recognised.
“His promotion reflects the leadership role he is already playing and our confidence in the contribution he will make to the future of the practice.”
Before joining Crosby Granger Architects, Luke worked for several award-winning architectural practices specialising in high-quality residential, heritage and conservation projects.
As an Associate, Luke will continue to lead projects while taking on a wider role in design reviews, staff development, client relationships and the strategic growth of the practice.
He will also support the continued development of the practice’s Whole Estate Plan work.
Luke said: “I am delighted to have been promoted to Associate. Since joining Crosby Granger Architects, I have had the opportunity to lead some fascinating and complex projects, particularly through our work on Whole Estate Plans.
“What interests me most is the opportunity to look beyond an individual building and consider how architecture can contribute to the longer-term future of a place. That means bringing together design, heritage, sustainability, landscape, rural enterprise and the needs of the people who live and work there.
“I am looking forward to continuing to develop this work, supporting colleagues and contributing to the future growth of the practice.”
Luke’s promotion expands Crosby Granger Architects’ Associate team to four, strengthening the practice’s leadership structure and supporting the continued delivery of complex architectural and conservation projects across Cumbria and beyond.
