What I do.

My projects work through a journey: place, people, trust, time, process, joy.

I try to ask the right questions, to help a client get the best solutions.

I ask clients to assess the difference between cost and value -

Cost can be estimated or quoted.

Value is your own balance of finance, enjoyment and usefulness.

Tending towards bespoke design, my work has ranged from small to large(er) scale -

• Residential projects (contracts £10,000 to £1,100,000)

• Office fit-outs and new-build studios (contracts £100,000 to £1,000,000),

• One-off restaurants, small business suites, community projects

• Landscaping and furniture design.

I am modern, functionalist and practical.

My projects include work within National Parks, Conservation Areas, and National Landscapes (formerly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - AONB), projects within Scheduled Ancient Monuments and works to Listed Buildings. I've advised and worked with Community Councils and voluntary management committees on donation, grant and Lottery-funded projects.

I prefer to interact with builders rather than instruct them, believing in a hands-on approach to construction projects that endure.

A low consumer, I aim to conserve resources, lower energy use and recycle materials; staying smart and creative while doing this is the clever bit I strive for.

Friendly, open and curious, to uncover what's needed to fulfil the brief; I like to make sure that things work.
