Matthew joined pH+ in May 2019 and is currently working on mixed use and residential projects across London.

Prior to joining the practice Matthew worked at Hawkins\Brown architects where he gained experience working on a variety of projects ranging from a large commercial retrofit project within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, landmark Higher Education buildings and an estate regeneration scheme in south London.

Matthew studied at the University of Sheffield where for his final year project he explored the way in which architectural design can facilitate communities engage with the immediate and wider urban realm.

An interest in widening participation in architecture has seen him develop and deliver lesson plans with primary school pupils as part of the RIBA Schools Ambassadors programme. Matthew is also apart of the winning team to design a temporary structure for the London Festival of Architecture in 2019.

Sam studied at Kingston School of Art for both undergrad and masters. Awarded a RIBA London Student Award and nominated to represent Kingston at the ‘Blueprint for the future’ exhibition, as selected by Blueprint Magazine as well as the Sue-Ann Lee Studentship Prize.

His studies explored collective living and interests in how architecture can create new conditions for interaction and living together. His projects developed upon this idea and have included proposing a new type of infrastructure based on emerging models of warehouse living. Collective living and working spaces supported a set of neighbourhood rooms, housed within a robust building which affirmed a new public space as the threshold to a vibrant street market in East London.

His dissertation examined metaphors within architecture; how architects such as John Utzon and Sigurd Lewerentz gained the broad vocabulary needed to design extraordinary spaces. As experiences become memories, they are stored in their minds and romanticized upon; later to be deposited in their own work.

With an interest in craft and a fascination for how things go together, Sam has a hands-on approach to architecture and enjoys using models as a tool for design.

Sam joined us at the start of 2021 having previously worked at a range of scales for several well-established practices both in London and Dorset. He is currently working on a number of projects including; Muswell Hill, Blount Street, Beresford, Manningtree, Hill House and a one off home in the heart of the Kent Weald.

Away from the office Sam might be found trying his hand at a new craft such as mosaic making, and has recently taking up cold water swimming.
