Associate

Daniel joined us in 2017 and brings a breadth of experience across complex historic buildings and new-builds of all scales.

Daniel’s work includes an ongoing relationship with the Grade I listed National Gallery, where he has supported them in a variety of works such as complex refurbishments of support spaces whilst maintaining public access to gallery spaces, and the hanging of new artworks. He is currently working on a roof envelopment refurbishment of two of their galleries.

Daniel has a keen passion for getting to grips with the history of a building and this was put to good use in his involvement in his work at the V&A, which involved refurbishment of the historic North & South Court roofs.

Elsewhere, Daniel has worked on a number of large country estates in the south of England, in including working as principal engineer on the comprehensive repair and extension of the Grade II* listed Hoddington House in Hampshire.

Recently, our successful work at a private house in Wiltshire has been in no small part to Daniel’s creative approach to dealing with challenging sites, where his work has focused on the Grade II* listed stable-block. This was in a state of partial collapse but, utilising his expertise, a scheme was developed to bring the remains of the structure back to life and suitable for high-end residential use.

Daniel is currently developing the detailed design of the proposed National Spitfire Monument in Southampton, a technically challenging project that is truly one of a kind.

Within the office, Daniel manages the internal training programme which runs approximately 60 seminars and discussion groups each year.
