  When I think about architecture and construction it seems to me that it is perhaps one of the most fundamental of all our human creative endeavours, and that the whole process of designing and building our environment is an expression of the very essence of our humanity. My architectural training has given me much more than just the technical know-how to design a building. It has also given me a broad aesthetic appreciation of our world, one that informs all aspects of my everyday life. Whilst a good building should be functional and fit for purpose, a truly great building will be one that delivers to more than these simple practical needs. Our lives are enriched by beauty; the play of light, the flow of space, the materiality of a surface, the framing of a view. And there is no doubt in my mind that when it comes to living in a space, poetic considerations should be on an equal footing with pragmatic. Innovative design must be complimented by great delivery. By evolving and refining established smart design processes we can ensure that projects are completed on time and to budget and that in the process risks are managed, programmes are monitored, and policies for issues such as sustainability, lifecycle and DDA, are synchronised and integrated into every aspect of the design. I have led the design team through all of the RIBA stages of work; from inception through to completion, and I understand that high quality innovative design will always be the outcome of a well functioning and collaborative design process. By gaining a clear understanding of the nature and purpose of the building, the needs and aspirations of its users, and the physical and cultural context of the site, we will successfully deliver locally sensitive, sustainable and inspirational designs.
