My experience is wide and varied, I am a former member of the CABE Enabling Panel and the DENK enabling programme acting in a mentoring role to both the Kent Architecture Centre and the local planning authorities and schools. I have been the Chair of the South East RIBA Branch, and am also an occasional visiting design tutor for UCA School of Architecture. My associations with bodies such as the RIBA, RSA and CABE and more recently as a member of the Education Estates Leaders Network has given me a very broad perspective and appreciation of how different people think and communicate which I feel assists considerably when designing in general but education facilities in particular, as I am not a teacher, but I am a very good listening and see myself as a life-long learner.It is my over aching belief that well-designed buildings offer the potential to improve life, health and well being and in the educational context to supplement educational opportunities.It could be equally said that badly designed buildings will actually preclude opportunities and as such negatively impact on the users.Project List Education/Community:• Jubilee School• Babington House School• Dover Boys Grammar School• Simon Langton Girls Grammar• The Warwick School, Redhill • Hartsdown Academy, Margate• Chertsey Free School, Chertsey• Bullers Wood School for Boys Free School, Bromley• Allen Edward School, Lambeth• Inspire Free School, Chatham• St Piers School, Young Epilepsy, Lingfield • Gildredge House Free School, Eastbourne• Thomson House Free School, Richmond Upon Thames• Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Faversham• Fulston Manor School, Sttingbourne• The Community College Whitstable - BSF Wave3• Shorne Wood Country Park Visitor Centre• Kent Building Schools for the Future (BSF)• Community College Whitstable: (BSF)• Discovery (Community) School, Kings Hill: Phases 1, 2 and 3• Petham Primary School• St Mary’s C E Primary School, Lamberhurst• Whitehill Primary School• Caldecott: SEN residential care home• Bower Grove SEN School• Kings Farm SEN Nursery• Slatters Hotel, Canterbury (planning)• Methodist Church House: office redesign• Conoco HQ, Warwick: office redesign• Brenchley House KCC: office redesign• Recording Studio: Digital Mix, Lisbon• Recording Studio: The Music Video CentreResidential:• Winscombe Apartments, Surrey• 15 apartments, Tankerton Heights, KentPublications/Media:• School Building• Building Design• EcoTech• Kent Design Guide• Green Guide• Architects Journal• Kent Life• BCC South East• BBC Radio• Learning Spaces
