A building should be comfortable and enjoyable, with services that are efficient and simple to operate.

How do we create such a thing? By getting to grips with the client’s objectives at the outset and developing the environmental and engineering strategy in tandem with the architect's vision. Starting with understanding the project requirements, I can integrate engineering to deliver a design that suits the building, its occupants and the client.

With experience across cultural, workspace, education and health sectors, I have successfully delivered a variety of projects from conception to completion. I’m able to advise on building form and façade, before developing the most appropriate building services strategy.

I'm an advocate of the Soft Landings Framework as it is a methodology that keeps the focus on buildings that work as they are intended.
