TERROIR
In 1999 he co-founded the architectural practise TERROIR with Richard Blythe and Scott Balmforth. A strong relationship between these three individuals fuelled an ambition to develop a practice underpinned by a culture of creativity, driven by an ambition for design excellence and which approaches project work as an opportunity for original design research. The practice is a micro-international practice which remains mid-sized at 35 staff.
