DESIGNER

Oliver enjoys collaborating with clients across project types and scales to deliver the best buildings possible. His background in sociology drives his interest in the way that people interact with the built environment and find meaning in the places they inhabit. His time studying and working abroad contributes to his understanding of how varied methods of project design and delivery result in distinct building cultures and environments. These experiences inform a nuanced and critical approach to translating clients’ specific needs and visions into architecture.
