Having worked as an apprentice at Foster & Partners, Matt graduated with a First Class Honours from The University of Bath. He moved to London to work for the Building Design Partnership, before commencing his Masters in 2011 at The University of Westminster. During this period Matt worked with BDP designing schools around the UK, spending much of his time researching and implementing prefabrication technologies.

On graduating from Westminster, he went on to work for a small-scale London based studio, where he developed high-quality private residential projects across the capital. The opportunity later arose to spend a year working in the Netherlands with Tim Vermeend, the director of Urban Climate Architects, whom Matt had met whilst studying at Bath. Based in the South of Holland and living by the North Sea in Scheveningen, Matt worked on various design stages of larger scale residential projects across the country, specifically exercising the practice research into Circular Architectural Design. It was during his time in the Netherlands that Matt inherited a passion for Dutch design which he hoped to bring back to the UK in some form, particularly the philosophy that everyone deserves a place to live of quality, light and air.

Following a move to Suffolk in the summer of 2016, Matt worked closely with Rob Pearce, a Conservation Specialist Architect who he had worked for previously when Rob Pearce Architects was formed in 2011. In this capacity, Matt worked on a variety of residential projects across the region, as well as some other notable conservation projects such as restoring the Carleton Rode Baptist Chapel.

Now with over Twenty Years of Experience Matt works as a Freelancer, with a passion for the East Anglian landscape and its draw for visual artists and creatives, Matt is excited to have the opportunity and responsibility to bring relevant and contemporary design to a rural condition, with a particular fascination for vernacular agricultural buildings including modern agricultural field architecture.
