AM Architect

On the 1st anniversary of my quadruple heart bypass, it was amazing to run my 1st post surgery Parkrun this morning and 1st for 18 months ❤️ - huge thanks and love have to go to my soulmate Dawn McLeish for being with and there for me every step of the way

I just want to help with your survey … woof, woof 🐶

Out of office on 👊🏻

Gotta love a rooflight and sharp corners against a Scottish blue sky

Today’s office view wasn’t too shabby but way to hot for a peely wally Scot 🥵

Today, on World Day of Social Justice, the United Nations calls on us to reflect on the barriers that prevent people from living with dignity, fairness, and equal opportunity.

Social justice isn't an abstract ideal - it's a lived experience. In the architectural profession, it shapes who gets to study, who gets to practise, and who gets to thrive. Economic hardship, discrimination, disability, or personal crisis can sideline talented people at any stage of their career, and too often those challenges go unseen.

At ABS, we believe that a fair profession is one where every member of the architectural community has access to support when they need it most - whatever their background or circumstances. From financial assistance to mental health and wellbeing support, we're here for the people who shape our built environment.

Justice begins with showing up for one another. If you or someone you know in the architectural community is struggling, reach out to us.

Wow 😮 16 years a business owner and whilst I’m still on a break recovering from heart surgery I’m looking forward to getting back on a phased return from 8th Jan 2026. It won’t stop me having a dram 🥃 and some cake 🎂 tonight 👍🏻
