Andy Hales
MA(Cantab) DipArch
A freelance architectural designer with a focus on sustainable buildings and construction techniques. After working for several years in North Wales Andy has now moved to Surrey to work with Grain Architecture, a small company with a focus on Natural Building materials. Any work taken on will now be through Grain Architecture.
Andy enjoys helping to achieve clients' aims by creating healthy and enjoyable places to live and work whilst minimising environmental impact.
Following an undergraduate course in architecture at the University of Cambridge, Andy studied at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Machynlleth. My professional experience has mainly been working on existing buildings doing restorations and retrofits (commercial, domestic, and ecclesiastical), and domestic new builds.
Professional and student design projects I've worked on and building projects I've volunteered on.
