Welcome to my design

His mission has been the introduction of ecological design and planning into the mainstream and is founded on years of practice in a wide variety of situations, landscapes, climates and uses of land for public and private amenities on scales ranging from the residential garden to a village or town.

His outstanding international reputation derives from work over many years in England Wales, Australia New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Greece and Portugal. His clients have included national regional and local governments, landowners, developers, schools, colleges and universities, farms and estates.

His designs have incorporated his specialism’s of eco-building, bio-engineering, renewable energy systems, water harvesting, waste treatments, organic food production, natural swimming pools, wildlife and nature conservation.

In his work Michael has been guided by a belief in the necessity and value of working in harmony with nature, to a philosophy and design approach rooted in the permaculture ethics of integrating earth care with people care to the increased benefit of both. He sees his concepts as a dramatic and conspicuous example of the value of ecological design, where separating and combining functions and uses makes the most of both worlds, the natural and the artificial while at the same time creating beauty.
