Chris joined Nash Partnership in April 2017 after qualifying as an Architect in 2015. Previously, he studied at Plymouth University, achieving a 2.1 Degree with Honours, before completing a Masters, gained with Distinction, at Strathclyde University in Glasgow.
Upon graduating, Chris established his own practice, ‘Roots Design Workshop’, which provided architectural services for isolated communities in the highlands and islands of Scotland. Concurrently, Chris conceived, developed and managed the design and build summer school, ‘Tog Studio’, which helped community groups deliver small-scale projects through short residencies with students studying the build environment. Chris continues to be involved with higher education in his role as a studio tutor at Bath University.
More recently, Chris completed his Retrofit Coordinator training, which follows on from his interest in the retrofit & reuse of existing buildings, especially those that are hard-to-treat and have a heritage value. Chris’ skill set in being able to take a holistic design approach partnered with his understanding of traditional building materials and detailing, led him to take a leading role in the delivery of the high quality Bank of England, Rivers Street and Combe Royal heritage projects. Chris also regularly adds the role of Contract Administrator to his responsibilities, with The Pavilion being one such example, helping to ensure the projects are managed through the construction phase toward a successful conclusion and the realisation of our clients’ briefs.
