design approach

Keep It Fun

Architecture should be playful. It can easily be taken too seriously and we end up losing the subtleties in design. It is these nuances which change how we experience a space and how it makes us feel.

Appreciate Individuality

Everyone lives differently and I want to create a space which suits you. Whether you prefer calm and neutral or bold and colourful, I love thinking about light, materials and textures. Quality construction, careful craftsmanship, and cleverly considered details make an enormous impact.

Enhance A Sense of Place 

I believe architectural design should reinforce its local character, not by copying what is already there, but by making reference in an original way. I find it sad to see 'copy and paste' new build homes which look the same no matter where they are in the country. 

Use The Site

The best designs are the ones on difficult sites, taking the challenges and constraints and using them as a design tool to create a truly unique building which becomes a part of its surrounding.
