about fresh ground

my design approach is informed by decades of experience working in the residential, education and hospitality sectors in the design heartlands of shoreditch and clerkenwell in london. This wide-ranging background now infuses my specialisation in bespoke contemporary homes and high quality extensions in the bournemouth and poole area.

my initial approach to all projects is to provide an architectural service that is a perfect fit for your individual needs as a client, and one that responds appropriately to the particular size and complexity of the task at hand.

navigating the intricacies of the construction process to realise your vision involves continuous design development and attention to detail, informed by intensive dialogue with all those contributing to the design process. I believe a successful building project comes from strong, trusting team relationships and I will always seek to work closely with clients, consultants and contractors to ensure the process goes smoothly, while fostering much repeat work from clients.

observing budget requirements and time constraints is of course integral to all projects and I achieve this through professional project management and supervision of work on site. good architecture really doesn’t need to cost the earth, but care and consideration is needed from the outset to address this facet of the process.

an environmentally conscious perspective informs all my projects, and I am very happy to work with you to meet your particular sustainability aspirations. a focus on interior architecture and lighting is also particular to my approach, and I have many years of experience of working seamlessly with interior designers.

above all, I’m passionate about creating beautifully crafted designs to meet clients’ practical needs - while remaining sensitive to the unique context of each project.
