Jonathan joined the practice as a Part II Assistant in 2015 following his studies at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and BCU. He qualified as an Architect in 2018 and was promoted to Associate Director in 2024.

In 2023 he was awarded “Project Architect of the Year” in the RIBA Awards in recognition of his work on the School of Architecture and the Built Environment for the University of Wolverhampton. This multi-award-wining project is a landmark project for both the University and AA. In addition to navigating the coordination of a new build with a listed building, the project was delivered to a tight deadline.

He has gained considerable experience in the design and delivery of a wide range of projects in the mixed-use, residential, leisure, and education sectors (primary, secondary and university). This includes refurbishment/new build/mixed projects, projects on live premises and – within the education sector. Projects with challenging DfE budgets and requirements, always ensuring that projects are delivered to best practice standards.

He is currently playing a key role in our project to regenerate Walsall town centre, a residential scheme in Birmingham, and a new SEN school in Northamptonshire. He was also involved in the delivery of the UK’s first University Training School – a school providing facilities for student teachers to learn in a live school environment. Jonathan also has extensive experience on a variety of residential schemes that include refurbishment of existing buildings, tall buildings, and the use of Passivhaus principles in design and construction. He has experience working on the restoration of heritage and listed buildings.
