At architectural studios (Reddy Architecture and Davey + Smith Architects), I worked on bespoke residential projects, including extensions and one-off houses, with a strong focus on designing for family needs and the human experience. The practice emphasized collaboration, using hand-crafted models and regular client engagement to inform design decisions. I gained hands-on experience across all project stages—from concept to on-site construction—including survey drawings, planning submissions, and tender packages. I also contributed to feasibility studies for larger developments, assessing environmental impact, commercial viability, and amenity value.
