Nathan Avard

Arch Assistant

Nathan gained his architecture degree from the Kent Institute of Art and Design in 1996. He joined Architype in 2000 and worked on a variety of projects including running the Springhill Cohousing project. In 2008 Nathan left Architype to refine his passion for timber, gaining a joinery qualification and teaching on green wood work courses; erecting green oak buildings; producing timber furniture; and working as a carpenter. He now combines traditional timber craft with design work at the forefront of timber frame best practice. Nathan rejoined Architype in 2010 to work on two schools in Wolverhampton – both aiming to achieve Passivhaus. Recently Nathan’s keen interest in climbing and cycling have been sidelined as he has been busy renovating his 17th century town house.
