Charles joined AP in 2004, where he initially contributed to high-profile heritage-sensitive sites, including the Valletta Waterfront regeneration project and the Manoel Theatre. He studied architecture and civil engineering at the University of Malta, followed by an MSc in Structural Engineering from the University of Surrey. His early projects at AP honed his meticulous approach to work in heritage sensitive contexts and fortified his belief in the strength of collaborative design.
Charles was eventually appointed as a Design Director at AP, with career milestones going on to include leading the structural design of the Farsons Brewery and the award-winning Dock 1 regeneration – both highly technically challenging projects that solidified his expertise in complex builds and project implementation. Charles’ biggest achievements to date have been leadership on the design for the new GO Technical Centre, where he championed sustainable design, as well as the restoration of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral steeple a project demanding innovative structural solutions to restore a historic 67-metre high masonry tower and spire. He currently leads the structural design for AP Valletta’s Skyparks 2 development.
