Bio

I have worked with Duncan and his team, at Gunn Architects, for about 8 years now as Director of Estates at Regent's University London. Duncan has tremendous vision and application to design and delivery taking time to understand and help develop any brief. His leadership style ensures those that work alongside him develop exactly the same approach to their work - his team are really first class! Working with the whole team there is always a reassurance nothing left to chance, all bases covered, giving me a reassuring confidence we are in safe hands! Duncan will always make time for a bit of advice or to run through ideas, nothing too much trouble!

We have now worked closely with Gunn Associates and Duncan on several backland sites. His passion and enthusiasm, and more importantly, his eye for detail, is second to none. Duncan is someone that we will always consult with early doors on any projects we undertake. He gives a very honest view and has helped us out on many occasions when we've had difficulty with other architects that haven’t extended that courtesy.
