background
Matt started off as a labourer, working on traditional housing through to steel-framed construction. This sparked his interest in construction and architecture, resulting in the completion of a BTEC in Architecture, Surveying, and the Built Environment in 2011 with a double distinction. He then attended the University of the West of England and completed the double accredited BA (Hons) in Architecture and Planning in 2015.
Matt has a real passion for the detailed design of buildings with the ethos that good design is in the detail. Working as a technologist has enabled him to explore this particular interest professionally, while gaining valuable experience in the delivery of successful projects.
