Expert Building Advice

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with existing buildings—often within heritage and conservation settings—developing a strong understanding of traditional design and construction. This experience has informed a sensitive, context-driven approach to adaptation and intervention.

Low Carbon & Sustainability

I am an experienced low-carbon designer, having studied low-energy building at Oxford Brookes University in 1995. Recently I have been working with reclaimed and found materials to create virtually zero carbon constructions

Architectural Technical Design

I specialise in residential architecture, delivering carefully considered technical design across extensions, alterations, garden rooms, loft conversions, kitchens and bathrooms. My work combines practical detailing with a clear design vision, ensuring projects are both buildable and well-resolved.
