Senior Architects

Jonny joined the AXIS team in 2016, after completing a Masters of Architecture at the University of Sheffield. Since then, he has played a role in a number of significant residential projects, both new build and listed conversion, alongside competition designs.

Jonny was nominated for the prestigious RIBA Presidents Medal Bronze Award in 2012, as well as being exhibited in New Design Magazine’s Graduate Showcase. His approach to each project is to bring a fresh and rigorous understanding of the brief and design concept, and to challenge the way one might think about space.

His passion for design lies in understanding and interpreting the places in which we live, and the future of residential design in allowing users and architecture to interact with one another. His final year Masters thesis interrogated a challenging concept for urban living; bringing levels of adaptability to a co-housing model to almost become ‘plug-in’, to address how architecture can support the changing needs of residents.

Inspired by the likes of Carlo Scarpa and Peter Zumthor, Jonny’s love of materiality and tactility brings attention to the smallest level of a building’s user experience.

He is also a visiting reviewer at Nottingham Trent University.
