Architect (ARB / RIBA) and Director
Phil qualified as an Architect from the University of Westminster in 2006, and is an affiliated member of the ARB and RIBA. In that time, he has worked for several well-established practices in the Midlands and the South East, predominately specialising in the education and residential sectors.
Whilst Phil enjoys designing with his trusted 0.1mm pen, producing good old fashioned hand drawn sketches, his real desire lies in the technical details of a project. Phil has a meticulous eye for detail and enjoys becoming immersed in the collaboration process with other design professionals, ensuring that all of the information is not only fully aligned with the original concept, but that it is comprehensive and ready for the construction stage.
Outside of work, Phil’s got a bustling family life, nurturing his larger than average family, whilst enjoying lots of trips to the seaside, going on bike rides and watching the motor racing.
