Design approach

My ambition for every project is to foster a design process that is both enjoyable and exciting for the client, through the use of evolving sketch views.

I work with my clients, be they a family, community group or larger organization, to achieve a unique and appropriate solution - one which is sensitive to place, inspired by brief, client and site, and rooted in reality and practicality.

At the heart of this approach is the use of three-dimensional sketches to explore a design with my clients, drawing out their ideas and vision for their building project and raising their ambition for its potential. I develop a strong visual sense of the scheme throughout all stages of the process, whether it is in the conceptual character at the outset or the fine detail as the design is developed.

Throughout this 'sketching' process I bring to bear my own experience, intuition, thoroughness and practical expertise to ensure a constant check against other sometimes conflicting factors; eg whole project costs, likely planning or building regulation constraints, programme and construction implications.
