Patrick is the current Chair of the Cambridge Association of Architects; the regional branch of the RIBA representing approximately 450 members. The Association was established nearly hundred years ago to support local architects in the work they do and their wider industry connections.

Patrick also runs a small practice called Perpendicular Architecture which is based at Entopia, the home of the Cambridge Intitute of Sustainability Leadership. His practice focuses on manufactured regenerative design with meaningful social value and works in both architecture and consultancy. Patrick also has two young sons and lives in Cambridge.
