architecture + me

My wee architectural journey

My craft honing began within a variety of Aberdeen based Architect practices. Branching my way from home refurbishments, extensions and new build homes to include Hotel refurbishments, large scale office refurbishments, new build offices, restaurant refurbishments, school new builds and everything in between.

 

Leading design teams became my normal and managing works on site became all consuming.

 

But something was missing....

My earlier curiosities around the sacredness of our home environments had been put on hold and my soul began to feel empty and lost... in 2018 the Design Bothy was founded to realign my work with my heart.

 

It is now my joy and my privilege to create with and learn from homeowners, helping you work out how to make your home feel better. My work feels nourishing, meaningful and supportive of the empowerment of others.

Design isn't just about creating spaces

It's about the life long learning to remove ego from the design process, stay continually open + curious to new ideas and ways of working and to keep improving the ways in which designs are communicated, not just to you, the homeowner, but to all those involved in getting the ideas from paper into real life.  
 

Rick Ruben Quote

"The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity. To see past the ordinary + mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible"

Rick Ruben

The Design Bothy carries out architecture that supports your vision, through listening intently to what it is you want and need and using architectural principles to show you how you can get it.
