Puneet Khunger Joins ARX to Head Up New London Office
ARX, part of the Kinetic Solutions Group (KSG), has appointed Puneet Khunger to head up ARX’s new office in London.
Puneet will drive both new and existing client relationships from London, bringing ARX closer to the home of prestigious international architecture practices. He has previously worked with renowned sports architecture firms POPULOUS and HKS and brings with him 20 years of experience in the design of venues and stadia globally.
His work includes significant stadium projects like the Narendra Modi Stadium in India, Phoenix Hill Sports Park and Football Stadium in China, and the redevelopment of Eden Park in New Zealand.
ARX’s new presence in London enables a two-pronged approach to the global kinetic architecture market. Alongside Puneet’s work to engage and develop relationships with UK and international architects, the disciplines of project engineering, manufacturing and delivery will remain in Sheffield at KSG’s headquarters.
This latest development builds on ARX’s significant experience in delivering iconic moving structures, including retractable roofs, moving pitches and pivoting seating to create flexible, multi-use venues. Puneet’s leadership ensures that ARX is positioned and ready to lead new projects from concept to completion.
Looking ahead to his key objectives in the role, Puneet says:
“I am thrilled to join ARX. KSG’s robust support for innovation in kinetic architecture promises exciting possibilities, especially as we expand the ARX division’s reach.”
“With a surge in interest for ARX’s solutions from UK and overseas customers, our work’s heart lies in London – a critical hub for leading architectural and engineering consultants, cost consultants, and construction contractors. I’m confident that our new presence in the capital will enable us to influence innovative moving structures for entertainment venues and stadia, from the earliest stages of design, right through to delivery.”
Danny Pickard, CEO of KSG, shares his thoughts on the momentum building within ARX:
“ARX is handling an unprecedented level of international enquiries, design studies, and overall interest in moving structure projects. Our recent collaborations include multiple stadium projects connected to the 2034 World Cup, featuring innovations like retractable roofs, moving pitches, and pivoting seating.
“It’s the perfect time to welcome Puneet onto the team, with the new opportunities that become available to ARX by increasing its profile on the global kinetic architecture stage.”
