Their longstanding personal and professional relationship influences the ethos of the studio and creates an enjoyable and open work environment and therefore a happy and effective team. The strength of the management is enhanced by an excellent design and administration team in the studio to ensure excellent project and practice management.
Team experience
All directors are fully qualified architects registered with the Architects Registration Board boasting significant experience in a wide range of companies prior to founding the practice. This includes working as project architects for signature architects such as Terry Farrell, Ahrends Burton and Koralek and Vakis Associates on large commercial projects, large commercial projects with construction values up to £200m and with responsibility for design packages up to £40m (cladding on City development). The experience gained in practice and through education means that the director team can tackle the challenges that arise and ensure that they can deliver successful projects for their clients.
