Introduction

My architecture is traditional. I aim to produce carefully crafted buildings that reflect and harmonise with their environment.  My approach to design owes its origin to ideas of noted figures in our history such as Art Workers Guild Past Master, William Morris - figures who had, and continue to have, an international influence

I am a recipient of first prize in The Times/RICS Conservation Awards and a Housing Design Award. My work has received numerous reviews in the architectural and national press and quotations from these accompany the illustrations here of projects I have built.

I now live in Brittany (15, place Le Flô, 29260 Lesneven, Finistère, France, 02.98.30.71.20) contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and am continuing architectural projects as well as theoretical studies in current architecture, urbanism and the history of architecture and ideas. See essay The Ideology of Architecture, www.intbau.org/essay15.htm.
