My obsession with design is routed in homes, I love how our personality and tastes can be translated into the spaces we live in. Whether it's refurbishing a period property or starting a new build from scratch, my approach to designing homes is simple; to create beautiful spaces which compliment it's  surroundings, and most importantly to work in everyday life. 

I've gained over 10 years experience in one off high-end residential design projects, from architectural services through to project management and interiors.I began my architectural career in a small traditional practice working on various one-off homes including Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monuments, which drove my passion for details and bespoke designs. Following this, I then gained several years of experience working as a project architect for a luxury home builder, designing and managing projects from initial sketch scheme through to managing on site builds with full interior fit outs. 

Wider architectural context.

I believe in the importance of 'place', how architectural design can help contribute to the character and identity of how a place feels to us, such as the red brick victorian terraces of Manchester to the stone walled cottages in the Lake District. 

Site.

Every single plot of land has it's own unique set of attributes; it's orientation with the sun, is it sheltered or exposed, is it flat or is it contoured, what views out does it have? All of these should influence design. 

Interiors.

I design homes for people to live in and experience, this can calming and neutral or bold and colourful. I have an appreciation for quality of construction and craftsmanship,  cleverly considered details even down to how a light switch control or the colour of grout can have a big impact on how we both use and see a space.
