Rick McCluggage

Architect and Director
BArch (Hons), MArch, ARB, RIAS, RIBA

With over 20 years’ experience and a passion for creativity, I have delivered many of our most successful projects, including masterplans, new-build residential and civic projects.

I specialise in residential design, collaborating effectively with consultants and contractors to deliver projects for our key local authority, private developer, and housing association clients.

As a Director, my strong leadership skills and attention to detail play a key role in our financial and business management. I enjoy leading the graphics team, marketing, and promotion of the Practice.

I give back to our industry as a Trustee and Ambassador of Architects Benevolent Society, and as a mental health advocate. I love to travel to new cities, play golf and tennis, and try to keep up with my family on the slopes. When I’m not pedalling around the city on my bike, you’ll likely find me tinkering under the bonnet of my classic Mercedes.

Years experience: 20+
Year joined: 2003
Specialisms: 

Residential, Civic, Masterplan, Consultation
