We are a husband and wife team and first met in the year 2001 whilst working in Glasgow. We both came from similar backgrounds having served apprenticeships as architectural technicians before studying architecture. Over the years we have worked for a number of different practices gaining a range of experience in the healthcare, education, community, residential and commercial sectors.

The following is a selection of the projects we have worked on:

In 2012 we relocated to Scotland and after a short career break, Amanda set up her own practice in Dumfries and Galloway. In recent years, since joining together in practice, we have developed extensive experience and understanding in working with existing buildings which may be empty, forgotten or unfulfilled to bring about re-invigorated and transformative designs in a palpably sustainable manner.
