✨ Being an architect — or a managing director — isn’t just a “9 to 5.” It’s late nights, early mornings, weekends, and sometimes bringing the kids into the office when duty calls.![]()
Because the truth is, obligations come in many forms: to clients, to projects, to a team, and to family. And when something needs done — when no one else can do it — you roll up your sleeves and make it happen.![]()
That’s what leadership means to me, and it’s what our team at Manor Architects lives every day. We take our responsibilities seriously, because every drawing, every detail, and every deadline matters.![]()
It’s not just work. It’s commitment. It’s life. 💪![]()

The Architecture of happiness, and the Happiness of Architecture.... ![]()
As I am sure most of you already know, for me, architecture has never just been a job, it has been a love, a vocation, and a way to make a difference.![]()
From my very first project to the work we do every day at Manor Architects, one belief has always guided me: architecture has the power to make people happy. Not just for a moment, but in ways that last for generations.![]()
Happiness in architecture isn’t always about bold landmarks or headline, grabbing designs. More often, it’s found in the small but profound moments.![]()
These moments remind me that architecture is about much more than walls and roofs, it’s about people, stories, and futures.![]()
Our work at Manor Architects can be summed up in three intertwined values: sustain, grow, and build.![]()
Our work at Manor Architects can be summed up in three intertwined values: sustain, grow, and build.![]()
Because when a building is sustained, grown, or created with care and shaped by the lessons we learn every single day, it becomes much more than a structure. It becomes part of someone’s life story. 💛
Not everyone knows this, but since 2012, we’ve been quietly (and proudly!) delivering projects in the United States—from schoolhouse conversions to housing developments—bringing our design values, practical expertise, and a commitment to sustainability across the Atlantic.![]()
It’s been an exciting, sometimes unexpected journey—one built on relationships, reputation, and results. ![]()
As someone who started with a love for architecture and an even bigger belief in people, I’m delighted to now be a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). ![]()
It sits proudly alongside my long-standing memberships with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS), and Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI). And this list isn’t stopping here…![]()
Lately, our work has been growing in the hospitality and tourism sector, particularly through collaborations with American hotel groups and agencies.![]()
These partnerships are based not only on shared vision but also a recognition that we bring something different—design that’s deeply considered, values-led, and aligned with changing global needs, from guest experience to environmental performance.![]()
In September, I’ll be heading to Florida for a focused period of research and development—a chance to deepen sectoral insights and shape our offerings with local, national, and international relevance. ![]()
While I can’t share too much yet, it’s safe to say we’re planting the right seeds for something very exciting.![]()
For me, architecture has always been about more than buildings. It’s about people, places, and possibilities. ![]()
It’s about asking: how can we do better, for everyone? I’m proud of the work we’ve done in the U.S. already, and even more excited about what’s coming next.![]()
Here’s to continued collaboration, connection, and creativity—across borders and beyond expectations.![]()
Warmest,![]()
