Richard studied Architecture at Leeds Metropolitan University and has worked in several Architectural Practices, specialising in Leisure buildings, office and residential buildings before deciding to become self employed in 2010. He set up his own kitchen & Architectural design studio which specialised in a ‘one stop’ design service in which the design of the extension/House and kitchen could be developed together, including Planning Application, Building Reg Submission and Construction drawings. In 2014 Richard setup up 2131 Ltd and moved into offices in the Art Deco Workstation building in Sheffield City Centre, this move has allowed the company to take on larger and more complex projects while still ensuring the Client’s expectations are met.
