Matt Joined Jo Cowen Architects after working in Berlin for his first Part 1 placement role preparing retail fit-outs for luxury brands across Germany. Prior to this he completed his bachelors degree at Newcastle University where his thesis project was nominated for RIBA North-East’s Hadrian award for student work. This project explored the role of the winter garden throughout the history of the British seaside resort and proposed a contemporary interpretation of this precedent for the Northumberland coastline. Outside of the office Matt enjoys drawing, illustration and screen-printing clothing.
