In addition to my formal architectural education I have considerable practical building experience working for my family's building company, Over Mountain Builders, who specialize in quality, light wood frame construction and carpentry. I have designed and completed full sets of drawings for two existing homes in the Northeastern US, including my family residence built in 2000 (photo right), and have participated in the renovation/construction of many other homes and barns from foundation to finish work. Most recently, the renovation of my Grade II listed cottage in North Wales has familiarized me with stone construction and its particular environmental attributes.
