The distinctiveness of Wilkinson Eyre’s work appealed to Chris Donoghue when he joined the practice. ‘There is a sophistication in the way we approach design, which stems from a rigorous examination of context, coupled with a freedom to explore succinct conceptual solutions from project inception right through to completion. Across all the practice’s projects there’s a real commitment to the design intent. The clarity of the original concept sketch is always maintained, through peer review and director involvement.’ Chris brings a creative background at the Royal College of Art to his architectural work. ‘The school is a real melting pot for creativity, with work across a multitude of design disciplines actively encouraged. This experimentation helps me visualise objects and spaces three dimensionally in a way which is free of the conventional parameters of architectural design. For me, great buildings rely on an imaginative design process which strives to distil spatial concepts into built form.’
