Inroduction My passion for architecture and design grew from a very early age, with my real appetite for the re-use of existing buildings and materials, evolving in the last few years. I believe in the importance of reducing, recycling, reusing and also preserving our architectural past while re-animating buildings and overwriting with a contemporary layer of our own time. In my spare time I like to travel and am fascinated by different cultures, traditions and landscapes. I enjoy photographing memories along the way. Literature and music are other passions of mine and particularly writing. Laurie Baker being my inspiration has given me a lot of motivation to work in the field of affordable habitats.
