I am an Architect and builder based in Devon, UK.
Having concentrated on sustainability in my post graduate studies I remain focused on pairing natural and cultivated building materials with contemporary methods of construction.
I have an appreciation for traditional, intuitive processes of design and craftsmanship. In my work I hope to create simple, elegant forms with spatial arrangements suited to a modern life.
Carnaby Studio / Out of the Valley
2019 – 2021
After joining the small team as a freelancer I immediately took on responsibility for Architecture, Design and Project Management. I also became involved in other aspects of the business from on-site construction to business planning.
During this time I took on independent private commissions including architectural work, landscape design and cabinetry.
Moon Architect and Builder
2017 – 2019
As a Part 2 Architectural Assistant at this medium sized architectural practice I was responsible for early conceptual designs, planning and building regulations applications and technical drawing packs. I quickly took on a lead role on several home extension projects under the supervision of the Architectural Director.
Following my role as an Architectural Assistant I left the office to work on site to gain further construction knowledge.

O’Brien Van der Steen Workshops
2021 - 2024
I worked on a range of projects at O’BVdS from new build and conservation projects on Dartmoor to rammed earth buildings in Georgia and pre-fab housing for London. We often work with traditional and natural building materials such as cob and lime. My various responsibilities include running projects through the RIBA Stages.
A long time in the making in 2024 I founded Grown Home to concentrate and specialise in ecological architecture and construction.
This work focuses on pairing natural materials with modular construction and construction management.
