Nick strives to create spaces that provide a positive impact on people and that can foster interaction between others. He believes that good architecture should make the user inspired and make their life easy. In each project, he finds opportunities to make the built environment a more interesting and playful experience.
Nick has experience in architecture of all scales, across public buildings, education, hotels, heritage, industrial and high security facilities. Adept at 3D modelling and documentation in various software suites, he works across all project stages from concept to documentation and construction. He brings expertise in a range of technically complex building typologies and specific design guidelines, including secure facilities, sports and recreation, education and production facilities.
Drawing on the site, context and thorough client consultation, he believes that ‘concept is king’, not only to inform the design but to guide clear decision-making. With a client focused active listening approach, Nick is able to understand and distil stakeholder requirements to blend stringent guidelines with user experience.
