Partner Richard Hands BArch RIBA graduated at Oxford Brookes University. Until 1995 he worked as the main conceptual designer for a London practice, producing sketch schemes and feasibility studies for a wide range of building types: his work attracted seven national design awards. He studied part-time at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, the UK’s leading centre for sustainable design. Next, he set up his own practice, carrying out many commissions - residential, commercial, healthcare, and social/amenity - for private and public clients. Since joining FBN Architects he has piloted the practice’s largest-ever project, the regeneration of two run-down areas of Stirling, now on site, and he is Project Leader on the regeneration of Kildermorie, in Easterhouse. He heads the practice’s initiative to widen its design base into new fields, drawing on his experience of commercial architecture. Richard is the practice’s Design Manager, and also manages Computing and IT.
