About

We think of architecture not as a single practice, but as several interlocking ones. Landscapes are inseparable from structures, ecology is inseparable from building requirements, and improving human relationships is the ultimate goal of any project. Aesthetic movements come and go, but we have found these principles to be timeless.

As partner of six miles across london ltd. - small and creative design thinkers, we strive for honesty and clarity. Our first job is to understand the client’s vision and needs, not to present our own. We value timeliness, direct communication and prototypes over presentations, as well as the occasional face-to-face meeting over a drink or a meal.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to collaborate with some excellent professionals and clients on some wonderful projects, but we believe it is still too early to weigh in on the success of the work. A building exists in time and its usefulness is directly related to how well it continues to perform.

We are proud of our Canadian and African heritage, but do not consider ourselves exponents or purveyors of any preconceived design styles. This is because we believe predetermined and stereotypical styles have no place in architecture, where a building must first and foremost be suited to local needs, be functional, enhance people’s quality of life and inspire.
