I started my own New Forest practice in 1996, having previously played a leading role within medium and large firms on both domestic and major capital projects in South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Barbados, USA and Kiribati together with a number of large projects in the UK. To date, the practice has had about one hundred clients and its scope of work has comprised mainly domestic architecture ranging in value from below 10,000 to in excess of 750,000 and from simple extensions to new build.
I have also been involved with a number of swimming pool buildings, a commercial kitchen and garden design. There has been a number of repeat projects from my clientbase but all commissions receive my individual attention irrespective of the contract value. Some of my drawings are produced with Computer Aided Design, others are "hand cranked" depending on the scope of the project.

Services
I will undertake work at whatever level the client may wish.
This could mean anything from a basic feasibility study and discussions with the planning authority regarding possibilities through to a "womb to tomb" scenario involving design, approvals, tender appraisal, site supervision and certification.
My fee structure depends on the nature and complexity of the job.
Initial meetings with clients are always free of charge, during which an assessment of the project can be made and a fee structure established with mutual agreement.

Actually the Garden Room is incidental to the needs of a very fussy motor car, but the garden room itself is, as you can see from the photograph, a very pleasant space.
It has a mezzanine sleeping loft and a large sitting area.
A traditional approach was required as it is in a conservation area and, as seen from the photographs, it eliminates an eyesore which had existed in the village for many years.
This major two storey extension more than doubled the area of the building as it was in 1960.
The ground floor incorporates a very large living area and kitchen, toplit by roof lights and the first floor extends the sleeping areas by two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
