page_type: prop_plus_profile
After working as a project architect for design-led firms in London, Edinburgh and Oxford, I set up as a sole practitioner in 2008 in central Oxford. I studied at Cambridge University in the 1980s and qualified as an architect 1990. Now with thirty years of experience in the construction industry I specialise in bespoke builds, providing personal attention to arrive at the best design solutions for my clients. From 2010 to 2013 I studied part-time in Landscape Architecture at Birmingham City University and was awarded the prize for the best design project in my final year. My mantra is “bringing the inside and outside together” and this is reflected in the materials I work with, flow of space from the interior to exterior, capturing views and daylight and blurring the dividing line between room and landscape.

Lesley's innovative and practical approach to internal designs including wardrobes and bathrooms ticks all the right boxes. Her attention to detail is outstanding and her ability to listen and translate our "wish list" of storage needs and cupboard design is first class. Lesley's in-depth research kept our decision-making to a simple and easy process and allowed us to confidently make choices that reflected our taste and also kept us within budget. No mean feat!
Lesley's flair for colour is a joy and we always felt in very safe hands during the potential nightmare of choosing paint colours, wallpaper and fabrics. At no time did it involve a hundred messy wall colour samples to terrify the less artistically gifted.
Lesley's organised and calm approach to this complex project meant that diverse trades were always kept fully informed and there were never any frantic scheduling clashes on site.
Lesley has played a huge part in turning our architectural dream into a wonderful new home and we are forever in her debt.

Lesley was recommended to us by a friend
I couldn't recommend Lesley high enough.
We found her highly innovative, motivated and with a listening ear to any ideas that we had.
She was easy to work with and and had a very good rapport with our builders.
