My work spans large-scale urban regeneration, modular housing, retail, conservation, and community-led projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My design philosophy is simple: only design what you know how to build. I\u2019ve spent years on construction sites, working closely with contractors and skilled craftspeople \u2014 learning what truly works, and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thrive on solving problems \u2014 whether that\u2019s sketching ideas, refining a factory detail, or troubleshooting on site. I also enjoy working with people, especially across languages, cultures, and disciplines. Bringing ideas together and turning them into reality is what drives me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I founded <strong>Arche17<\/strong> not only to offer my own experience, but to build a network of trusted collaborators \u2014 talented individuals I\u2019ve worked with over the years \u2014 so we can deliver something greater than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Arche17<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arche17 is a collaborative studio where architectural design, construction, and fabrication come together. While I often lead projects directly, I work hand-in-hand with a long-standing group of manufacturers, tradespeople, engineers, and consultants \u2014 many of whom I\u2019ve partnered with for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we deliver thoughtful, practical design \u2014 from first concept through to completion. Whether we\u2019re shaping a new build, restoring an old one, or setting up a manufacturing process, we operate as one integrated team \u2014 committed to getting the job done, and done well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We specialise in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Off-site manufacturing and timber systems<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Historic conservation and adaptive reuse<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Housing, retail, and community-led design<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>International project delivery<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project management and contracting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Our website is currently being updated \u2014 it\u2019s taken longer than expected due to a particularly busy period.
