Professional Skills
Oliver brings the qualities our clients expect from an experienced designer; structured thinking, responsive coordination, and drawings that progress a scheme rather than decorate it. He focuses on buildability and practicality early; aligning proposals with site constraints, planning considerations, and a clear design narrative, while remaining open to value-led iterations, programme pressures, and consultant input. He is organised and collaborative; keeping information tidy, tracking comments, and supporting coordinated outputs that help teams make timely decisions.
His academic research explored architecture as a response to mental health challenges; informed by his South Korean heritage and a people-focused approach to design. Oliver is driven by how architecture can support wellbeing, community, and inclusive everyday experience; and he continues to develop his technical capability and delivery confidence through multidisciplinary teamwork and live project experience.
