Co-founder || Principal Architect
Education
UK-trained and internationally experienced, he completed his architectural education through the ARB / RIBA pathway, qualifying as a registered architect in the United Kingdom. He graduated from Kingston University with a Bachelor of Honours and Graduate Diploma in Architecture and later completed his professional qualification at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, attaining full chartered status in 2016.
He has since complemented his architectural training with a LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) credential, reinforcing a practical and informed approach to sustainability, environmental performance, and long-term value in the built environment.
Experience
He has over two decades of professional practice, bringing broad international experience across luxury hospitality, leisure and entertainment, high-end residential, mixed-use, commercial, and adaptive reuse projects. His work spans a wide range of scales and contexts, with involvement across the full project lifecycle, from early concept and planning through to technical delivery and construction.
Hospitality-led projects have played an integral role in shaping his approach, developing a strong understanding of how architecture can enhance everyday experiences and our built environment. By combining design clarity with technical rigour, he delivers environments that are guest-focused, inspiring, culturally receptive, and designed with purpose.
His portfolio includes luxury hotels, boutique developments, resorts, villas, branded residences, and large-scale destination projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with direct experience working within operator-led frameworks for international brands including Four Seasons, Accor, Hilton, Cheval, and Marriott. This exposure informs a considered approach to design, operation, and long-term performance, which are carefully balanced.
Earlier professional experience established a strong technical foundation through hands-on involvement in residential, mixed-use and healthcare projects in the UK, alongside extended periods working on live construction sites on turnkey developments in the Middle East. This grounding informs a pragmatic understanding of buildability, sequencing, coordination, value engineering, and quality control.
Design Ethos
His work is shaped by a belief that architecture should serve people first, respond honestly to its context, and to perform exceptionally. Guided by principles of resilience, authenticity, precision, innovation, and ethical practice, each project is approached as a careful balance between human utility, lived experience, and long-term performance. The result is architecture that feels intuitive to inhabit, grounded in place, and rigorously resolved. Designed not only to function well today, but to endure, adapt, and continue adding value long into the future.

Our Core Values
1 | Resilience
We design and operate with long-term thinking. Resilience informs how buildings are planned, detailed, and delivered, responding to climate, use, change, and time. It also shapes how we work with clients and project teams: calmly, consistently, and with the capacity to navigate complexity without compromising quality.
2 | Authenticity
Each project is rooted in its place, purpose, and people, rather than imposed ideas or repeatable formulas. We value honesty in design thinking, communication, and relationships, ensuring architecture reflects real needs, cultural context, and lived experience.
3 | Precision
Precision underpins design excellence. From early concepts through technical resolution, decisions are deliberate, coordinated, and well-considered. Precision is expressed in proportion, material choice, detailing, and buildability, ensuring clarity of intent and confidence in delivery.
4 | Innovation
Innovation is approached as thoughtful progress rather than novelty. We explore new ideas, tools, and methods where they add genuine value, improving performance, experience, or efficiency, while remaining grounded in craft, judgement, and practical application.
5 | Ethical Practice
Ethics guide every aspect of our work. We act with integrity, transparency, and respect, for clients, collaborators, communities, and the environment. Ethical practice informs how we make decisions, manage risk, protect trust, and take responsibility for the long-term impact of our work.
