A good friend of Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, Gibberd's work was influenced by Le Corbusier , Mies van der Rohe , and F.R.S. Yorke . He set up in practice in 1930, designing Pulman Court, Streatham, London (1934–6), a low-cost housing development which established his reputation.
He was consultant architect planner for the Harlow development and spent the rest of his life living in the town he had designed.
