Starting his career ‘on the tools’ in the UK, James quickly realised working in a warm office was a better long-term objective. In 2008 he gained a Diploma in Construction and Architectural Technology, followed by on-the-job experience in residential projects involving small alterations, extensive complex rebuilds, high-end homes and commercial work such as multi-unit developments, large warehouses and office fit-outs. James is a Licensed Building Practitioner (Design 2) who has amassed extensive hands-on knowledge and is currently involved in “a bit of everything”. His key objective is to ensure each project runs smoothly by keeping everyone informed along the way thanks to his wealth of industry experience.
Outside of the architecture world, James can be found making memories with his family – camping, surfing or trying to catch a fish.
The Holmes Architecture team bring an extra dimension to all projects with practical knowledge and expertise combined with innovative and imaginative architectural design.
