The early years:
I always loved drawing and making models, and LEGO was probably my earliest connection with the building industry! It was a creative, communal, and endlessly flexible toy.

Influences:
The biggest early influence on my career direction was my art teacher, John Meade, who persuaded me to go to Canterbury College of Art to undertake a foundation course. My biggest architectural influence was my professor at the University of Edinburgh, Isi Metzstein (1928-2012), a funny, caring, passionate and inspirational architect.

Hopes - likes - loves:
I hope to survive long enough to meet all my grandchildren.

I enjoy exercise: walking the dog; swimming; playing golf; and cycling various bikes on and off road.

I love being by the sea: a rough day brings the surf; a calm day brings a surprising amount of tranquillity. Whatever the weather the sea always makes me happy.
