John Lancaster

Architect and Associate
BSc (Hons), MArch, ARB, RIAS

I am an experienced architect with over 15 years of experience. My journey with the practice began in 2007, returning in 2021, and I have been involved in a diverse range of residential and education projects throughout Scotland. I enjoy collaborating with communities to craft sustainable buildings and captivating environments.

As a member of the Management Team, I play a vital role in the smooth operation of the practice including my involvement in the Practice Promotion and Graphics and Presentation Groups. Having served as the Vice President of the Edinburgh Architectural Association, I bring a deep understanding of the industry to the table.

In my spare time, I am actively researching my family history and enjoy placing my ancestors in their local context, visiting the places they lived and learning about the local history. I also enjoy drawing and photography, constantly seeking inspiration from my travels to enrich my work.

Years experience: 15+
Year joined: 2021
Specialisms:
