DANIEL WADSWORTH // DIRECTOR

BA (Hons), PG Dip Arch, PG Dip DP, Adv Dip, ARB, RIBA, RIBACA

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

I joined Jessop and Cook back in 2003 as a Part II architectural assistant and never left.

I have been a director since 2006, but I tend to do a bit of everything from cleaning, or watering the plants, to strategic business planning. I oversee numerous projects from those in university, commercial, charity and community sectors, to various housing projects.

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

I am interested in moving Jessop and Cook to become a B-Corp to help formalise the positive social and environmental work we do and the ethical manner in which the practice is run.

In addition, I aim to improve the ways buildings are constructed to fit them into the one planet living framework while still creating interesting and enjoyable places for their users.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

As well as being a father of two,  I’m the chair of the Oxfordshire branch of the RIBA, I sit on the Blackbird Leys Parish Council, and I have also been involved in local charities.

I actively follow politics and current affairs, especially when it comes to the environment. I also, from time to time, carry out little bits of Guerrilla gardening.
