Buildings and places

My building work is site-specific and contextual. Each project begins by reading a place and its materials, climate, building traditions, and the lives already taking place there and answering on its own terms, whether the brief is an office building or a small picnic field. An understanding of economy runs through the work: making the ordinary count, treating tight budgets as a discipline rather than a constraint, and looking for what becomes possible when resources are limited rather than abundant.

The projects ask how people live together at different scales, speculative allotment colonies and private holiday houses, invited competitions and large-scale residential transformation.
