James is instrumental in the practice’s design process. Gathering the conceptual strands of a project and shaping them into a compelling architectural proposition, he has a talent for distilling the essence of complex ideas and communicating them in a visually engaging way to clients. 

He is passionate in his advocacy for the integration of new technology in our design processes and promotes the rapid testing, iteration and prototyping of a project to find the right fit between form and function. As a mentor, James enjoys inspiring emerging architects in a practice culture that delights in connections between designing and making.
