He maintains a close relationship with clients and consultants throughout the design process and takes pride in upholding key project concepts from start to finish. He is constantly looking for new and alternative design perspectives, with a focus on providing efficient and commercially viable proposals that achieve the high design standards of the practice. His approach closely considers both the appearance and performance of buildings, adopting sustainable design strategies and low carbon technologies.
