Gabriel is a designer and maker with a broad knowledge of the building industry. He began his career in the workshop of London’s Architectural Association. While working alongside some of the preeminent architectural practitioners in the country he developed an attitude to making — demanding high standards in terms of both authenticity and quality — that continues to define his practice.

He gained his degree in Architecture from the University of North London and went on to become a staff member, working as a master craftsman for the School of Architecture and Interior Design.

He has worked both on and off site as a maker in all types of media. His architectural training and experience on site have given him a thorough understanding of design, construction and building practices. This knowledge has proven invaluable in his role as project manager, enabling him to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and to deliver high quality projects on time and on budget.
