JULIET BURCH // DIRECTOR

BA (Hons), MArchD, ARB

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT JESSOP AND COOK ARCHITECTS AND WHAT PROJECTS DO YOU WORK ON?

I joined Jessop and Cook in 2015 and became a Director alongside Martin and Dan in 2020, with a focus on Business Development.

I have also been an Associate Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University fsince 2018, where I have co-led a masters design studio and examined for the RIBA Studio. Currently I am Module Lead for Management, Practice & Law on the Architect Degree Apprenticeship.

WHAT SPECIFIC AREAS ARE YOU INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING WITHIN JESSOP AND COOK ARCHITECTS?

In 2024 Jessop and Cook is celebrating it’s 50th year and we have bold ambitions for our next 50 years too. My role is to keep driving the company in the direction of achieving our ultimate purpose of having a positive impact on the wellbeing of our local communities.

As a director, I like to encourage colleagues to find their areas of interest in the field of architecture and enable them to advocate for this, both within the practice, and by getting involved in organisations and activities outside of practice.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

Generally my aim is to spend as much time outside and immersed in nature as possible! I am navigating life as a new mum and trying to make van-life work as a family of 3!! I’m keen to keep exploring the amazing wonders of our world, and now through the eyes of a little human too!
