The Team

Simon has over 10 years’ experience with the practice. As a graduate of Architectural Technology and the Environment at Plymouth University from 2011 Simon has a focus on sustainable architecture and delivering high – performance buildings and applies his practical knowledge and deep understanding of architecture and construction across the practice. Simon is an Associate member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists, Senior Architectural Technician and was made an Associate Director in 2021.

Primarily working from RIBA Stage 4 onward, Simon has delivered a broad and complex range of projects on site including industrial units and commercial showrooms with a focus on bespoke high-performance dwellings. With a keen technical eye and thorough understanding of construction, Simon also helps to shape and rationalise early design stages and continues to promote the benefits of 3D and BIM modelling across the practice and through all stages of the design and construction process.

Simon qualified as a Passiv Haus Designer in 2023 allowing the practice to continue the strong drive to design and deliver high-quality, truly low energy buildings.

Jake coordinates projects through the concept and planning stages, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality design. He uses advanced 3D modelling and visualisation techniques to clearly communicate complex ideas. An Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT), Jake has been a key member of the practice for over 10 years. Specialising in RIBA Stages 0–3, he has played an integral role in delivering numerous bespoke residential developments and one-off homes across Cornwall.

Jake has a thorough understanding of the UK planning system, shaping early design proposals to achieve successful, site-specific planning outcomes. Alongside his design expertise, he also has experience working from RIBA Stage 4 onwards, applying his technical knowledge to ensure schemes are deliverable. Proficient in Twinmotion, Jake produces compelling rendered visuals that fully engage clients and clearly convey design intent.

Adam started his career in construction in 2006 as a site carpenter, developing a hands-on appreciation for how buildings are made. This early experience shaped his keen eye for detail and his interest in how materials merge together to create meaningful spaces. He went on to complete a BA (Hons) in Architecture at the University of Lincoln in 2014, and later a Diploma in Architecture through the RIBA Studio at Oxford Brookes University.

Adam is passionate about delivering high-quality design that positively impacts well being. While design-focused, he has strong technical expertise, linking his carpentry experience with the technical design process to deliver buildings on site.
