Practice Philosophy
Our primary practice philosophy is based around consultation and involvement. We always work closely with clients and actively seek opinions and ideas from potential building users and others who may be affected by our designs. This ensures that overall satisfaction levels with the finished project are high and much of our work comes via recommendation or repeat business.
Our practice is regularly requested to provide feasibility work for large scale strategic planning and also to assist community groups and individuals in project planning and funding.

I enjoy running our busy practice and feel fortunate to have such a talented team to support me. I make sure I am fully involved in the design of all our projects, but also recognise that I could not do this without the help and talent that exist in our office.
In addition to my work in the office, I am employed by a number of Universities including Leicester De Monfort where I spend a day a week in the studio as a design tutor. This helps break up my week as the office always runs at 100 miles per hour, but more importantly helps me thinking creatively.

Because we work in a busy open plan space, our roles over lap and I enjoy being involved in helping with the general creativity of the team as we try to create interesting architecture with in a structured working environment.

I enjoy the variety of projects which we have in our office which means from week to week the experience and challenge that work brings is constantly changing.
We put enormous care into a detailed design of all of our work and I particularly enjoy the opportunity that this brings to explore finishes and materials as well as other aspects of architectural design.
I bring to the office my talent for attention to detail and a sensitivity to our clients feeling and aspirations.
