A graduate from the Sheffield Hallam University, University of Nottingham and The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, he believes great design is born from understanding the clients aspirations, the building context and its use. This combined with his passion for design, creativity and practicality has led to the successful delivery of a diverse range of projects from offices, student accommodation, residential, places of learning, laboratories, community buildings and in recent years working on historic buildings.A member of the British Council for Offices he enjoys attending their events and learning how others have achieved inspirational projects and find it useful when both designing and when mentoring our future architects and younger designers.A fair weather golfer and reluctant runner, he balances life with being a keen home cook and pint (or two) in a local pub.
