Twitter: @derbyarchitectI am an award winning architect with almost 20 years experience working within architectural practices and have developed a wide range of skills and experience.From initial client briefing and feasibility studies, through concept design and planning applications, to detailed design and delivery on site, I have worked with a wide variety of clients from private individuals and small charities to regeneration companies, asset managers and exclusive high street brands, in order to meet their requirements and deliver their aspirations. I have recently set up James Boon Architects and will be using my experience of heritage and conservation projects, as well as that of building my own house (which was recently a winner of a RIBA Regional Award), to hopefully advise on, design and deliver many interesting projects in Derbyshire and further afield.While I was an Associate at Lathams I worked on a variety of projects, mainly one off private houses or heritage and conservation projects but also including small luxury housing developments, specialist care homes, veterinary surgeries, and visitors centres. My work at Lathams enabled me to strengthen my skills in the area of heritage, conservation and regeneration. Of particular interest to me is how the history and context of the site can influence and guide the outcome of the architecture, whether its new build or work on an existing building.
