Kwamena Beecham is an Architect at Pilbrow & Partners, London.
Kwamena gained his Part 1 from Plymouth university where his dissertation investigated the role of the architect in the 21st century. He continued his studies and obtained his Part 2 at Birmingham City University, where his written thesis investigated the perception of success in buildings, while testing the themes uncovered with a design thesis reintroducing a statement railway station in Morecambe Lancashire. Following this he completed his Part 3 at Westminster university and became a chartered Architect.
In his relatively short career, Kwamena has stood for RIBA council elections, mentored students and has been a visiting tutor at Birmingham city university and UEL. After taking a break from teaching to focus on his part 3 and young family, Kwamena is now looking to the horizon for new opportunities to help the next generation of Architects grow and flourish.

The Pride Road Franchise grew out of Founder Lisa Raynes’ refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. She built her practice in the domestic sector, and then invested to turn her business into one that other ambitious architects wanting work/life balance can buy into. She’s had a seat on the RIBA Council (2015-18), been Chair of Women in Property NW and founded Manchester Curious, an urban architecture outreach festival. A key focus of the Pride Road Franchise business in a box is the fully-automated customer relation management system, this system helps lead a flow of new clients to our franchisees.
