Jamie Bateman

Architect and Director
BA (Hons), MA (Hons), Dip Arch, ARB, RIAS, RIBA, RIAS Accreditation in Conservation Architecture

With over 30 years’ experience of designing public buildings, I am interested in how design affects the way people use buildings and feel about the institutions that occupy them. I am convinced that when we design architecture that works well, we make society better.

I like unusual projects which require critical thinking from first principles. I have degrees in both Architecture and Physics, and I am comfortable taking a strategic view across all design disciplines, challenging assumptions to ensure that conclusions are valid.

I am an RIAS-Accredited Conservation Architect, with a particular passion for bringing new life to old buildings through careful repair and conservation combined with sensitive contemporary interventions.

Outside work, I enjoy gardening and volunteering for my community on the Board of Tweedsmuir Community Company.

Years experience: 25+
