Ken Stanton joined Stephenson&Turner in 1982, gaining full registration as an Architect in that year, and was appointed an Associate of Stephenson&Turner in 1986 and a full partner in 1987.
Ken gained extensive experience in the retail sector as Project Architect for three major extensive/renovation projects at Manukau Shopping Centre which received a BOMA award in 1987 and the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company Ltd Headquarters in Hamilton which received an NZIA Design Award in 1987.
The experience of the complexity and special problems associated with refurbishment of an existing building, while in use, has been useful in ongoing work, nowhere more so than in extensions to Auckland International Airport. Ken has undertaken several independent projects at the Airport, aswell as acting as Assistant Director on the Terminal Expansion project (completion Novemeber 1997).
Currently, Ken retains a major role in ongoing work at Auckland Airport. His works include the design of an entirely new, twelve-gate international pier and a Pier Seperation project to segregate arriving and departing passengers, involving the addition of a circulation route on the roof of the pier and the relocation and reconfiguration of airside retail areas. Other key projects include an increase in check-in counters and the implementation of security screening of old hold stow baggage.
Ken maintains professional involvement through his membership of NZIA (New Zealand Institute of Architects). He is an examiner for the Architects Education and Registration Board.
