Catriona joined BUJ Architects in 2013, having moved with her family to London from Ireland to broaden her architectural experience.

As an Associate at BUJ, Catriona’s day to day responsibilities centre on her role as one of the Planning & Design Leads. She has successfully managed multiple large-scale and high-profile projects for BUJ through concept, design and planning stages. Catriona has also recently been managing projects through the later RIBA stages, enjoying the new challenges that have presented themselves as part of these processes.

Catriona studied the History of Art and Architecture at Trinity College Dublin, before going on to complete her architectural studies at Griffith College. She previously worked as an Architectural Assistant for John Fleming Architects and McLoughlin Architecture in Ireland, before setting up her own design consultancy in 2009. Catriona has also been involved with exhibition and furniture design, as well as experience teaching art classes.

As the mother of three sons, Catriona’s spare time is precious and short-lived! Any opportunity to read or assemble Ikea furniture is treasured. Baking and trips to the forest also feature heavily, as, unfortunately, do Power Rangers episodes.

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.

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.
