Bringing Spaces to life

Many aspects of the currently prominent development model are dysfunctional; linear approaches to production and consumption leading to waste of resources; of materials, investment, and empty spaces with rising inequality and  pollution; this paradigms is being replaced by clean energy, 15 minute neighbourhoods, artisan businesses and the circular economy.

Sharing the resources I have accumulated as an architect in over 25 years of practice and with 10 experience of teaching and research, I can help you and your community bring spaces to life, enhancing productivity while bringing you closer to nature.

Using community and nature based solutions, and existing buildings where suitable, we help you flourish in the circular economy.

As well as traditional services I am able to support you as a Client advisor, helping you navigate permits and regulations, financial  feasibility and clarifying how you will get your project done.

More strategically my experience is well suited to support you as a Consultant, Trustee or Board member with a focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues.

From here you can explore how work is changing and chart the best way forward for a green transition.
