DAVID CARMICHAEL - (Ba Hons) Dip Arch, RIBA

 

Since joining LGH in 1991, David has cultivated extensive expertise in designing a wide array of projects. During this time and as a third-generation Practice Director since 2002, he has played a pivotal role in the successful delivery of numerous projects, ranging from whole new school designs to teaching blocks and sports facilities to retail food outlets. Regardless of scale or intricacy, David's hands-on, design-focused approach guarantees that all projects receive the dedicated expertise and personal attention they merit.

 

 

APPROACH

 

All clients and projects are unique, and each are treated individually albeit with the same degree of passion to produce exciting, high-quality environments whilst adopting a realistic approach to ensure practical affordability.

 

Adept at securing planning consents on challenging sites, LGH maximise opportunities through tailored and creative design solutions delivered on budget and schedule.

 

LGH strive to adopt natural ‘passive’ strategies to ensure buildings have a positive effect on both the building’s internal environment but also on the earth’s environment. A tried and tested palette of materials from sustainable sources and alternative energies and systems, are explored, with a pragmatic approach to viability and affordability.

 

 

PRACTICE HISTORY

 

Lyster Grillet & Harding have an impressive, portfolio dating back to their formation.  With decades of experience, LGH have a remarkable history of delivering a diverse range of building typologies, including Housing, Sport, Research & Development and Food Retail, but more extensively the Education Sector. LGH represent an expert and specialist resource in this field.

 

Working with both public and private entities, LGH excels in creating innovative and transformative building solutions for nursery, primary, secondary, and further education clients including Local Authorities.

 

Our innovative designs have empowered students to reach their full potential, sparking profound shifts in their learning approaches. Several of our schools have achieved Ofsted's 'outstanding' rating post-inspection, attributed to the transformative impact of their new buildings and facilities.
