James Hamilton explores a design ethic where modern clarity merges with sensitivity to place, nature, landscape, and lifestyle. He will draw on an understanding of the importance of ‘change’ and conservation within the built environment, reflecting a balance between innovation and continuity. Drawing from completed works spanning Oxfordshire to the Caribbean, his practice demonstrates how context and culture can shape enduring design.
