With a lifelong passion for exceptional architecture, Joe has dedicated his career to exploring and expanding the possibilities within the architectural and construction industries. His foundation in sustainable design and hands-on experience with self-build projects has led him to a deep appreciation for the Passivhaus approach - an ethos that underpins all his work.

At the heart of his practice, Warehome, is a commitment to a client-centred, holistic design methodology. He believes in creating homes that are not just built to last but are cherished by those who live in them.

Since Joe’s initial foray into self-building in 2015, he has been fortunate to partner with a diverse range of clients, steering them through the intricate journey of building their own homes. Joe’s own experiences have taught him the value of empathy and understanding in these partnerships, allowing him to offer tailored advice that aligns with each client’s unique vision and needs.
Joe’s expertise extends to securing ethical planning permissions for projects in challenging environments, such as conservation areas, Green Belt sites, various infill and backfill developments, and under the guidelines of Paragraph 84 (previously Paragraphs 80, 79, and 55). Many of these ambitious projects are now in the construction phase, coming to fruition under Warehome's careful guidance.
Joe is eager to connect with individuals and families dreaming of creating their own bespoke living spaces. Together, turning your vision into a reality. Crafting sustainable, energy-efficient homes that are loved for generations.
