As a small practice we believe that the Principal stays at the helm and really drives the creative process as well as the execution of every project. Charles is very hands on, and considers that every design process is a real partnership between the client and designer. We strive to listen, learn and understand. Charles studied architecture at the Oxford School of Architecture, receiving his post graduate Diploma in 1977, completing his professional practice exams and becoming a Registered Architect in 1978 and member of the RIBA in 1979.
