🟢🟢Changes at A D Practice! 🟢🟢
🟩 Emma appointed as Director.
Emma is a Chartered Architect who has been with the practice for four years and is also a Certified Passivhaus Designer, playing a key role in delivering some outstanding projects, including working on the country’s first-ever registered Passivhaus Plus retrofit, as well as new-build Passivhaus schemes and other highly energy-efficient renovations.
Emma has a strong background in high-end sustainable residential architecture in the South West and is known within the practice for her keen eye for design and commitment to delivering thoughtful, low-energy buildings.
🟩 …and a sad goodbye to Heather.
Many will know that Heather has been on maternity leave since the birth of her daughter in June. She has decided not to return to the practice and has stepped down from her role as Director as she focuses on family life.
We would like to thank Heather for her significant contribution to the practice and wish her and her family all the very best for the future.
🟩 Looking to the Future!
You may already have met Katherine Hutchens, who joined us over the summer and is working with the team ahead of returning to complete her Masters degree in the autumn. We are also pleased to be announcing another new member of the team shortly.
