Charlotte Jacques

Architect and Passivhaus Designer
MA(Hons) MArch

Charlotte is a Part 2 Architectural Assistant who has recently joined Architype’s Edinburgh office, bringing experience she has gained both in Scottish and international projects.

Her passion for architecture began through exploration of the medium of photography, framing and capturing the built form in a variety of ways to uncover architectural ideas. Photography still plays a big role in her work, using it to translate a sense of space in a project and reflect the surrounding context. In her work, Charlotte is interested in how people interact with architecture, and how we can create architecture to have a positive impact on peoples lives, taking into consideration atmosphere, spatial value and materiality.

At Architype, Charlotte is currently working on a range of Passivhaus Edinburgh school projects.
