architecture
I received a Masters Degree in Architecture from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
Although I used to be a member of both the Royal Institute of Architects of Scotland and the Architectural Institute of British Columbia, I have not maintained my membership of either institute and do not call myself an Architect, nor do I carry professional indemnity insurance.
My work focuses on new-build housing and renovation work but for occasional larger projects I associate with the firm of Arthur J. Finlayson Architect, Sydney B.C. (Contact information to come) In these collaborations the working drawings are produced in the Sydney practice. I work with the client at all stages of the project.
I work with clients using an artistic, graphic approach to quickly explore design options and solutions. I offer a full design service from concept to working drawings.
