Joining MICA in 2016 after graduating from the University of Liverpool and the Dessau Institute of Architecture at the Bauhaus, Jonathan is an Architect with diverse experience on projects of varied scales. He has experience working in historic city-centre locations and sensitive contexts, from concept design to delivery. Projects have included a masterplan and investment framework study for the city of Lancaster, & the renovation and extension of grade II listed properties in London & Hay-on-Wye, Wales.

As a core team member of MICA’s ongoing work with Jesus College, Oxford, Jonathan worked on the Cheng Yu Tung building, which provides new teaching facilities, student accommodation, retail space and landscaping, including a new raised fourth quad for the 450-year-old college. Jonathan has worked through complex briefing processes, translating the client’s needs and aspirations into a successful scheme, and through detailed design and construction under a contractor novated role. He also guided teams in on several other schemes for the college, including new cycle storage set within medieval walls and renovation works to the grade I listed second quad to improve accessibility and college facilities.

Continuing his work within Oxford, Jonathan is currently part of the team for Hertford College’s new library and archive, beneath the historic quadrangle. Alongside this he is delivering a residential renovation and extension in Whitstable. Set within a conservation area, the project employs low carbon methods for construction and future operational use.

A keen interest in listed buildings and heritage value has developed through his work at MICA and Jonathan is a RIBA Conservation Registrant and is working towards becoming a Conservation Architect.
