About me

After qualifying as an architectural technician back in 1982, I gained a HBTEC in Building Construction before completing an Architecture degree at the University of Manchester. From there, I became an ARB registered architect and after moving through the rankings at GWK, a nationally-renowned architectural practice, I was made an Equity Partner at the company’s Newcastle upon Tyne office for almost 15 years. Throughout this time, I managed a team of enthusiastic architects and technical staff while working to implement the practice’s business strategy and manage finances. I became an accredited RIBA Conservation Architect in 2011 to formalise my extensive conservation experience and worked as Project Director before later launching W Kish Architects.

Throughout my career I’ve worked across all industries, to design, manage, problem-solve and ensure a stunning end-result time and time again. Over the last few years, W Kish Architects has specialised in residential, industrial and education sectors offering high quality, affordable design services.

One particular passion of mine is in creating sustainable, environmentally-friendly developments that are future-proofed for the years to come. When working with myself, you aren’t simply employing the services of an architect, you’re receiving consultancy advice built from over 40 years of working across large and small scale projects.
