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.

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.

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.

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.
