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 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.
