Architect, Director (BA Arch, DIp Arch, PG Dip Arch, ARB and RIBA)

James studied architecture at University of Plymouth, Portsmouth University and qualified from the University of Bath in 2015. He has spent a large proportion of his career focussing on the Stage 4 design and working closely with clients, external consultants, and also the Principal Contractor during the construction phase. While adept at the later design stages, James also enjoys seeing projects through all project stages and works closely with the team delivering the earlier stages to ensure the design can be resolved technically and cost effectively. James has experience of all forms of construction, including traditional construction techniques, along with modern methods of construction, comprising panelised timber frame, SIPS, SFS, ICF and hybrid construction comprising RC frames and SFS infill with rainscreen cladding systems. James is used to working with offsite manufacturers to coordinate their design proposals with those of the architect and other design team members.

Architect, Director (BA Arch, DIp Arch, PG Dip Arch, ARB and RIBA)

Rosie also studied architecture at University of Plymouth, Portsmouth University and qualified from the University of Bath in 2015. Rosemary’s primary focus is to oversee the RIBA Stage 0-3 design stages within the office, through liaising with clients, consultants, planners and other statutory consultees to suit each scale of project. She has worked across many planning authorities, including sites with complex heritage and highly-sensitive landscape and ecological locations. Her passion for sensitive and well-considered design that is inclusive for all, is evident in her design presentations to clients and planners alike. Although her role is primarily focused through RIBA Stages 0-3, she enjoys working through with the detailed design stages post-planning and is well-experienced in coordinating with other statutory authorities and regulatory bodies.

Matt has over 30 years experience delivering complicated technical design packages across all sectors and project scales. Matt joined the team in 2022 and works closely with James on the resolution of the technical design. Matt coordinates our technical packages with clients, contractors, supporting consultants and the regulatory bodies. He has an in-depth knowledge of current regulations and requirements throughout the construction phases.
