The Portugal connection
As well as having studied and qualified in the UK, I am also a registered architect in Portugal and maintain professional registration with the UK's Architect's Registration Board and the Ordem dos Arquitectos in Portugal.
Having worked as an architect in Lisbon and having established strong working relationships, I am able to offer a specialist service for anyone looking to pursue a project in Portugal but with the convenience & reassurance of an architect close at hand in the UK.
Through collaboration with trusted colleagues in Portugal, coupled with frequent visits, I am able to manage the design & construction of projects for UK clients wishing to realise their development in this beautiful & sunny land.
For further information, please contact me directly.

COLLABORATIONS
For UK projects (depending on project/ client needs) I may propose that architectural support be provided in collaboration with Keith Russell of D84 Architects, Portsmouth. Keith and I share a very similar work and design ethic and we have worked together in the past. Such a collaboration may offer an accelerated project programme on larger projects as well as the benefit of respective experiences on multi-use schemes.
For projects in Portugal I collaborate with chartered architects and technicians in Lisbon and Porto to provide a robust service offering.
