The firm’s founder on the importance of patience, his dislike of housebuilder-led, cul-de-sac centred housing and his admiration for the work of David Chipperfield

The built environment has a huge impact on everyone’s lives, consciously and subconsciously, and I felt a calling to make a positive difference wherever possible through enhancing our built environment, from masterplanning down to the smallest details.
