About Me

My photo
Southsea, Hampshire, United Kingdom
I grew up in a semi-detached 1930s house in Croydon with my policeman father, nurse mother and younger brother. Ever since my childhood I wanted a career, which like my parents' was people-centric whilst not suppressing my creativity; architecture seemed to offer the perfect balance, and so I relocated to Portsmouth in 2005 to study for my degree at the university there. After graduating in 2008, I moved back home for my year out at Bell Associates Architects and Designers. I returned to Portsmouth in 2009 to study for my diploma. For my thesis foundation I designed a Community Hospice on the site of the Hilsea Lido; affirming my interest in existential architecture. Around this time, I wrote my manifesto Out of the Ordinary, which called for architects to create an everyday architecture of simplicity and honesty; based not on quasi tradition or nostalgia, but rather a hidden reality that ought to be revealed.
