Fabrizio Matillana is a chartered architect and chartered planner.

He is Deputy Head of Design & Conservation at Islington Council. He leads the design advice on high profile projects in housing, commercial, mixed-use, higher education, civic and life science sectors in strategic and heritage settings. His focus is planning for alternative models to deliver high density housing in inner city contexts.

He has advised the Islington’s New Building Housing Programme, responsible for delivering new council housing. His work has been nominated at the Housing Design Awards 2024. While at Enfield Council he led the urban design advice for the borough’s high profile schemes including Meridian Water Phase 1 and Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, as well as major projects in green belt, brownfield, strategic industrial land and tall buildings. Meridian Water was awarded Planning Awards 2024 for best housing scheme of 500+ homes and Editor’s Pick.

He has experience working on development management of strategic projects, working with and advising on drafting design codes, SPDs and design policies. He has also been urban design expert witness at planning inquiries. He is a member of Design South East and sits in the Bexley and Harrow Design Review Panels. He has been a Built by Us, RCA Practice and Urban Design London Code School mentor.

His research interests are models of hybrid architectural and planning practice that provide strategic design input at city level, such as planning for high density housing, design coding and new metrics for defining perceived density. His research has been published in academic and trade journals including Frontier, RIBA Journal and the RTPI Urban Design Network.

He has supervised RIBA Silver Medal and AJ Student Prize High Commendation winning projects. He has run design modules at the Bartlett School of Planning and been guest critic at the Architectural Association, Bartlett School of Architecture, University of Greenwich and University of Reading.
