There is beauty in simplicity and there is value in finding a simple solution to a complex problem, especially when it makes the client happier and the work of the rest of the design team easier. That’s how Joe operates. Years of working on varied projects have developed in him a genuine enjoyment for seeking elegant and simple structural solutions to various design challenges, and he relishes the chance to work on projects which allow for plenty of creativity.

Joe is one of the core team members within SD researching ways for us to improve our approach to sustainable and low carbon design. He is currently involved in an internal study to determine how we might further optimise our approach to private house refurbishment and extension projects with respect to embodied carbon.

Outside of work Joe is a keen boulderer and runner which allows him to pursue challenges in a more physical manner.
