Name. Steve Watkins Position. Planning Designer About. From an early age I have always been keen to move into a career in architecture. From school I managed to escape from the confines of living with my parents and embark on a degree in Architecture at the University of Greenwich. After three years generally enjoying university life I qualified and worked in central London for RKW architects specialising in the healthcare sector. To continue my professional training I then embarked on a two year diploma course in Architecture at Oxford Brookes University. |
Following university I spent two years working in a practice within the Winchester region primarily gaining experience within the residential sector working on numerous barn conversions and small housing developments. With itchy feet I then decided it was time to take a break and spent 14 months travelling to all corners of the earth. It also gave me the opportunity to work for a few months in Australia working on residential projects.
Although the prospect of travelling for longer seemed favourable my bank account thought otherwise and I came back to England to continue my professional studies. I worked for three years for Bdp Architects in Southampton specialising again in the healthcare sector working on large scale hospital projects which enabled me to finally Gain my RIBA Part III qualification. At this stage I realised I needed to return to what I enjoy and moved back into the residential sector where I have now been working for Steve & Chris for 8 months working on what I enjoy doing most of all.
In my spare time I enjoy property renovation, travelling, skiing, beer, swimming and painting. I have been married for two years with a beautiful baby daughter.
