After graduating with first class honours and the Donaldson medal from University College London, Brian studied at the Architectural Association and was awarded honours for his AA Diploma.  His teacher was Zaha Hadid.

Brian joined Zaha Hadid’s office in its early days when the team was small and led projects for Halkin Place, Trafalgar Square Grand Buildings and Tokyo International Forum.  He later became an Associate at Mittelman Caradoc-Hodgkins, responsible for building the first Sky BSB headquarters, health clubs, warehouse conversions and residences.  Returning to Zaha Hadid's office, he was Co-Project Architect for the 34,000 sqm Art and Media Centre in Düsseldorf, Project Architect for the Cardiff Bay Opera House, and worked on the Victoria and Albert Museum Extension.  

In 1996, Brian set up his own practice to concentrate on designing and building for private clients.
