Broughshane, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
As a Director at HLM I work with a fantastic team of people employing thoughtful design to deliver great places for people. My career journey has taken me from qualifying as a Landscape Architect to diversifying into Passivhaus Consultancy and now supporting our practice on pushing the sustainability boundaries on projects and ensuring that our corporate carbon footprint is minimised as we follow our trajectory towards net zero. I've had the privilege of working with some great clients and teams on some great projects around the world, from masterplanning training campuses in the UK to repurposing an iconic building and grounds into a hotel resort in Abu Dhabi. I have supported my professional body the Landscape Institute over a number of years including roles with the local Northern Ireland Branch, work with the BIM Working Group and most recently with the Embodied Carbon Working Group. I currently sit on the Board of the Passive House Association of Ireland where we strive to promote the fantastic science based Passivhaus Standard, seeing it develop from a niche standard for high end housing to being applied to a wide range of building typologies from social housing to University buildings. And yes I did put my money where my mouth is and am fortunate to be able to live with my family in the comfort which Passivhaus guarantees on a little patch of Northern Ireland where we are working to improve biodiversity and reduce our impact on the world.
