Matt joined gcp during the summer. Here is a little more about Matt, in his own words:
My early interests in architecture where simple. How did they build that, and what does it all mean?
In my quest to figure it all out I have worked as a builder’s labourer, completed a BTEC in Architecture, Surveying, and the Built Environment, and graduated from the University of the West of England with a dual BA (Hons) degree in Architecture and Planning.
Since then I have worked in some diverse architecture practices of varying scales. Mainly in the student accommodation, mixed use, and residential sectors with an involvement in all things BIM.
My current architectural interests vary quite a bit! I love repurposed spaces, things out of the ordinary, elegantly simple design, both high tech and traditional construction, and high quality sustainable design that will stand the test of time.
I am currently working on Oakfield’s at GCP. A not-for-profit, high quality, sustainable housing community in Swindon. It’s really been refreshing working on a project with such variety, and one that is going to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
I am a proud father to an 8 month old. In true dad fashion I spend my spare time fixing things and trying to elevate my building skills past DIY status. My other interests include reading fiction from the likes of Phillip Pullman to Phillip K Dick, along with cooking (mainly spicy world foods).
