Nathan is an Associate Director and a founding member of Smith Caradoc-Hodgkins Architects, he has been working with Will and Dean since before the formation of the practice. Nathan received both his degree and diploma from Kingston University, London and was awarded a commendation for design from the RIBA.
He gained much experience before joining Smith Caradoc-Hodgkins working for a variety of London practices and CHORA Institute of Architecture and Urbanism, a charitable organisation which concentrates on improving the damaged infrastructures of eastern European countries through innovative urban planning.
He also spent two years working directly with contractors and developers with the specific intention of understanding first hand the reality of construction work. This technical experience has proved invaluable to him as a project architect and manager of the firm’s Health and Safety and Quality Control systems.
Nathan is particularly interested in work with complex existing buildings and as part of his wide portfolio with Smith Caradoc-Hodgkins Architects he has led several major refurbishment works, notably, the Magex office headquarters and a large restaurant project in Berkeley Square. He has a dedicated, positive approach and much experience running difficult central London projects. Recently he successfully led a team working on John Adams Hall student accommodation for the Institute of Education.
A favourite project was Ingram House, a fire engineered, mixed use building which was completed on time and on budget despite being partially occupied during construction. He enjoys the challenge of developing quick and cost effective solutions to situations that arise from unexpected site discoveries, inherent in most existing buildings undergoing refurbishment.
