Senior Project Architect
CurrentInitially hired as a Junior Architect, I rapidly worked my way up to Project Architect, tasked with leading our conceptual department high-value commercial developments, often being mixed-use. My inter-personal and design skills led to me dealing with the majority of the client and consultant relations, as well as producing consolidated concepts within an extremely tight deadline. Projects would range from $20 to $75 million USD. I personally design every aspect of the concept and after a value engineering stage with my colleagues, I would lead a team of 2 to 5 architects in the production of working, tender and submission drawings, and further technical resolution. FWJK provides me with a very unique opportunity as it is an integrated firm of Quantity Surveyors, Development Managers and Architects. As a result, I have acquired a keen balance in the dichotomy of design and cost. Innovatively rationalizing form making to ensure most financially viable option.
