Mike joined BUJ in 1997 in the wave of New Labour / Brit pop optimism which infused the times to lead teams involved in the delivery of working drawings.

Mike is a Project Architect and latterly Senior Associate, who concentrates on the construction side of the practice. This role has widened over the years to include Health and safety, CAD management and the dispensing of sage wisdom.

He studied at The Polytechnic of the South Bank and qualified in 1984 after which he spent some time working in smaller practices gaining a thorough understanding of the processes by which buildings are designed, procured and constructed. This was then put to good use in seven years of Healthcare works with FDE Architects before his move to BUJ switched the focus to increasingly large scale urban residential schemes.

Coming from the generation who collected and were interested in everything, Mike has too many interests to list but a precis would be: gardening in theory and practice, botany including a lifelong interest in carnivorous plants, cacti and succulents. Mike is currently the Secretary of the Bromley Branch of the British Cactus and Succulent Society and in 2017 was co-author of book ‘Smaller Opuntias’. Other interests include Bonsai, Japanese gardens, photography, landscape and geology, science and science fiction, Archaeology and local history (think Hoskins) Folk and progressive rock music.

Henry completed his MArch at Newcastle University where he subsequently developed a material & technical passion for architecture. He joined BUJ in 2018 and is now looking to try out life in London – a bit closer to home.

Having recently joined BUJ in 2018 Henry’s main responsibilities include assisting the construction team with coordination on technical packages for ongoing, large-scale mixed-use developments.

He has spent most of his architectural studies in the north of the UK, studying architecture previously at Liverpool & then in Newcastle. Henry has since been involved with a series of live build projects including the design of a pavilion in Kielder & Cabin in Hungary. He spent his year out at AR Design Studio in Winchester where he worked on smaller residential private homes, then came to London to try a new branch of residential architecture.

Outside of work Henry likes spending time with friends, exploring London, watching rugby, going to festivals, seeing music concerts and travelling. This largely influences much of his interest in photography; often visiting rural, cultural and architectural landscapes through his camera lens.

Believed to be the longest serving member of the practice excluding the Partners, Steve is a former Royal Marine who is very grateful for the opportunity of touring the world at someone else’s expense, although not always in ideal circumstances.  

Stephen is the IT & Communications Manager at BUJ. Getting into the IT industry in error when PCs were in their infancy, Stephen initially wondered if they’d ever catch on. He’s been involved in many aspects of the industry from software development, sales of CAD and solid modelling software, as well as consulting in networking, telecommunications and infrastructure.

Steve is also a keen biker and is a National Observer/Tutor for the Institute of Advanced Motorists, teaching advanced riding skills to those who join the charity.  He is Chief Marshal of the Guinness record holding Reading Toy Run which is an annual motorcycle charity event supporting a number of children’s charities, particularly Barnardo’s which is a favourite of his.

Steve enjoys the diversity of the challenges which running BUJ’s IT estate brings.  The technology which we utilise in the practice moves on and his only wish is to remain one page ahead of the rest of us in the user manual.   

Graduating his M.Arch with a Distinction, Tim left Southend behind to thrive at BUJ Architects in 2018.

As a Project Architect, Tim is primarily working with the construction team to deliver large, residential-led, mixed-use developments. Producing details, sections and schedules, he has an active involvement with all consultants on the project to ensure that everything runs smoothly. With a keen interest in BIM, Tim spends every spare minute helping to transition BUJ into Level 2 BIM practice.

Previously a Director of a small firm in Southend, Tim gained over 5 years of experience, designing and detailing all types of buildings from high-rise mixed-use developments to restoring 400+ year old farm houses. He twice graduated from the University of Greenwich, initially with a First Class Honours Architecture degree and subsequently with a Distinction for his Masters in Architecture.

If he isn’t working, he is either kayaking or swimming. Usually found paddling up to a mile off the coast of Essex, Tim’s ideal holiday is kayaking of the west coast of Scotland searching for Otters and lost Dolphins.

After graduating from the Slovak Technical University she set off travelling around the world and with a little detour on the way home, stopped off in London ‘for half a year‘, joining BUJ Architects in 2005.

With 15 years of experience, mostly in the housing sector, Barbara is responsible for delivering drawing packages, detailed design and construction documentation on the construction team for residential projects in the UK, liaising with clients, consultants and contractors. After 6 years of working for BUJ in London, Barbara set up the BUJ Architects Bratislava branch which she now runs.

Having completed March (Hons) from Slovak Technical University (FA STU) in Bratislava, she travelled for a year, eventually settled in London and started working for BUJ Architects. In 2011 Barbara moved back to Bratislava, worked on residential schemes with local architects, set up her own studio ‘atelier barbar’ with the passion to design housing based on ‘old, good and functionalist’ architectural principles. On top of that, in 2012 she rejoined BUJ Architects and has collaborated with the office ever since.

Travelling was/ is/ always will be ‘numero uno’ on her list. If not taking a flight from London to Bratislava, she can be found chilling out on the beach with a book and Negroni, taking a hike to Machu Picchu in a downpour, feeding elephants in Chiang Mai, attending exhibitions in Paris, listening to talks in London, attending the Architectural Biennale in Venice or having a nice dinner at Noma in Copenhagen. In her spare time she is always up for some crazy art workshop such as a calligraphy course or jewellery making from unique La Tagua, an exotic nut from the tropical rainforests, or making a bobbin lace (very hard not to tangle your hands). Her favourite period of art is Art Deco and Bauhaus, and she would love to go back to those bohemian times.
