INTRODUCTION.
My practice is in Wilmslow and I am a sole practitioner with more than thirty years of experience working
with private and commercial clients on projects in the area, including work on listed buildings. My practice is small and
in particular specialises in the design and alteration of domestic architecture,
landscape and garden buildings.
ARCHITECTURE
My design philosophy is to combine the best advantages of modern construction and fittings with the
conservation of the buildings original character. The opportunity is taken to reuse materials such
as brick stone, slate and timber wherever this is practicable. The aim is to produce designs compatible
with the existing building and setting, providing an appropriate homogenous whole.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
In the past the practice has been involved in the design and layout of gardens,
including garden buildings and with commercial landscapes mainly relating to mineral extraction,
both locally and nationally. I have acted as an expert witness in specialist areas on several occasions.
INTERESTS
Vernacular and historic architecture; gardens, garden buildings and follies; antiques,
particularly English regional chairs and Georgian drinking glasses; recreational rowing.
SERVICES
An initial meeting is arranged to discuss the requirements of the client.
From this meeting the client may continue with a full service in which I am involved in the design,
construction and site management of their project or a partial service in which the client takes an
active role in the management and organisation of the building work.
