Jonathan Barattini – Design Director
Chartered Architect
“The opportunity to nurture people’s connection to their environment and to one another is the thing that makes architecture so important for me. Every client and project is unique, each demanding a freshly considered approach to blend materiality with movement and emotion.
Growing up as the son of an architect, I’d always been surrounded by design and lived in spaces which were appreciably different to those experienced elsewhere. It wasn’t until after pursuing studies in marine science that I came full-circle and, recognising the joy that architecture can introduce to people’s lives, started my journey to become an architect.
Geographically, I seem to have been gradually migrating further south-westward, having grown-up in Somerset, studied and worked in Devon and now moved our young family to live in south Cornwall.
The landscape and surroundings here suit my out of work lifestyle when I love to spend time outdoors, mostly on and around the water - surfing, paddle-boarding, sailing - and in the hills - mountain biking, cycling, hiking, camping. Now with a young son, I’m looking forward to focusing on smaller adventures, closer to home and inspiring in him a love and fascination for the natural world.”
