Matt joined Define in June 2024 following a summer placement the previous year whilst completing his Master’s at Manchester School of Architecture, for which he gained a first class degree. His thesis project explored how we garner a ‘sense of place’ in the spaces we occupy, documenting various home-making practices across a range of communities. This sparked a focal interest in residential work.
Matt has applied experience from working on a range of one-off houses and extensions/alterations in a Cheshire-based practice to several private dwelling projects at Define. He has also worked on Companio’s original bakery refurbishment, enjoying the range of scales from 4000sqft dwelling design to 400sqft bespoke commercial joinerypackages.
Matt is a keen swimmer and runner, getting the team out for a Define run club on Fridays. He also dabbles in oil and water colour painting, enjoying early concept sketching for initial project proposals.
