What do you think makes a successful place 'work'?
Incorporating how people use, perceive and feel about a place into a design or planning solution.
What is your favourite place & why?
Berlin – it is a city that is full of history, but which also has a cutting modern feel.
What interests you outside of work?
I like to play as many different sports as I can – though rugby will always be my main sporting passion. I also like learning about new things and places.
What place do you most want to visit in the next ten years?
South America – I have been travelling previously but never had the chance to get there. It sounds like a great place, full of culture and sights, so its high on my 'to do list'.
What activity do you most want to undertake in the next ten years?
I would like to be able to speak Spanish fluently, though the chances of this are unlikely as I have only just started to learn and Juan our (Landscape Architect) is a very poor teacher!
