More about Peter
What would you add to your dream home?
Ensuite bathrooms — and if space allowed, definitely a double garage.
How do you spend your time outside work?
When I get the chance, I love getting out on my motorcycle.
What project or client work stands out for you?
One standout experience was being called in as an expert witness to evaluate the extent and quality of works at the Emory Hotel in London — a fascinating and challenging opportunity.
What historic building would you love to work on?
I’ve been lucky to work on a wide range of historic properties, from listed homes to castles with national monument status. But I’d really like to work on some historic ecclesiastical buildings — churches or cathedrals. They’re full of such craftsmanship, history and challenge.
