After 50 years in Architecture I have decided to retire in Spring 2022.

It has been a difficult decision as this is a profession that I love. I have been lucky enough to work with great Clients and in some fantastic places. Travelling by light aircraft, rib, ferry, quad bike and car to all corners of mainland Argyll and its Islands, Ayrshire and Glasgow has been fun and horizon broadening.

I am now going to visit some of those places on my own account.

Thank you to everyone, Clients, Community Groups and Consultants with whom I have worked over all of those years – I have enjoyed every minute of it – well almost!

An established, award winning practice in Argyll, I undertake projects on both the Argyll mainland and Islands, offering my clients a professional and personal service.

I have a bespoke approach to each project, ensuring the best outcome for both client and building. I have avoided developing a house style as my clients are individuals whose projects deserve individual solutions. The practice aims to match each individuals’s unique aspirations to a unique design that connects with the rural landscape.

I have RIAS Accreditation in Conservation Architecture and am the only Architect in Argyll to hold this qualification. Accreditation confirms that I am qualified and experienced to act as the lead professional in conservation work.

The ever-increasing need for sustainability in the environmentally aware world must be considered and I include passive solutions in my designs. I slao have experience of a variety of renewable technologies including GSHP’s, wood pellet boilers and simple solar thermal panels.

With skills and experience accumulated over 35 years I strive to use this to benefit my clients, whether their product is a new build home, the restoration of a historic building or a community heritage project.
