Curriculum Vitae

Since July 2010 I work as a sole practitioner for the Clients from all over the country including Local Authorities, Charities and private owners. I have been also acting as a Consultant for various architectural practices including Richard Ashby Associates in Greatham, Liss, Hampshire, where I managed architectural projects alongside Richard Ashby – an experienced conservation architect. The size and approach varied – one thing appeared constant – the historic context. We worked mostly for private owners of large listed properties – either within the shell of existing structures or designing new build.

I have the opportunity to work with renowned Landscape and Interior Designers developing schemes varying from £100 K to £2 Mln. The proposals tend to be of traditional character and occaisionally daring in size and volume.

My tasks vary from administering the building contract for the major extension works to the building within a curtilage of the Listed Building to the design of new buildings and preparation of various planning and Listed Building Consent submissions. I am involved in the Hydro Electric Scheme within the estate. Following an extensive research I wrote the Historical Appraisal of Lee Abbey site and I hope it to be published in the near future.

I was leading projects of various sizes with an emphasis on conservation – stages C to L. I administered JCT building contracts, worked as Planning Supervisor and Party Wall Surveyor. My Clients included both private owners and various Local Authorities within the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Design work ranged from extensions and alterations to Listed Buildings to new build within Conservation Areas. Having completed MSc in Historic Building Conservation I also worked on Conservation Area Appraisals and Conservation Plans. I lead the work for Jersey Heritage, preparing historical assessment of over 30 Manors on the island, involving the archival research as well as the physical survey. I was involved in carrying out the condition survey of all Listed Buildings for the East Hampshire District Council.

Being the only architect of the Assisted Living branch of one of the country’s largest Retirement Housing Developers my responsibilities were covering a wide spectrum of duties from the assessment of proposed sites, through the design and supervision of the production of the planning and working drawings. I was also working for the Planning Bureau negotiating with planners, preparing Design Statements and appeals.

I was in charge of all architectural issues related to the Terminal 5, Energy Centre. My main responsibilities included spatial coordination of various disciplines within our site, compliance with building regulations and planning requirements. It was an exciting opportunity to work with world-renowned architects and engineers within the challenging BAA system. Running traditional and 'design & build' contracts within the practice. Supervising less experienced colleagues.

Preparing sets of working drawings. Administration of contracts. Independent and team design work on various projects - industrial, educational, healthcare, domestic
