About the practice

People Architects: We believe that architecture can be more than aesthetics and function. Architecture communicates, it can value people and frame relationships. People Architects see the opportunity for architecture to serve. Architecture serving people. ‘If you are looking for absolute commitment from an architect to your project and its ethos and values I would thoroughly recommend Mike, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.’ Jane Smith, Community Director at Hope Street ‘This award demonstrates an incredible ability on your part to listen and to learn but then for you to also execute it in an award winning way! Just wanted to say that we all recognise how much emotional investment must have gone into to this of which I/we are all so hugely grateful for. The responses to the building carry on being overwhelmingly impressive and positive, often with people not quite believing it. What you have designed is truly wonderful.’ Lady Edwina Grosvenor, founder of One Small Thing ‘Mike, the truth is that you showed yourself worthy of trust and that brought the best out of me. You have a good balance between adaptability and standing your ground. You are also able to do big picture, small detail and keep a sense of proportion.’ David Boul Christ Church Winchester, Treasurer and Project Lead
