About

Rather than being driven by desire to specialise in one singular sector, my work is underpinned by a strong belief in the principles of circular economy, ecology and sustainable low-tech construction techniques. My practice draws on the specifics of site, history, culture, climate and construction traditions to create projects firmly rooted in their place. Amongst practice's interests lie a concern for the representational and emotional effect that architecture can have through its physical presence, materiality and through tectonic expression.
