Brandon’s dissertation investigated the social, economic and political factors behind the resurgence of ‘Collective Living’ into the 21st century and how past co-living models have influenced the one we see today.
Since starting at Farrells, Brandon has been working on Ruby Triangle, a mixed-use regeneration scheme on Old Kent Road in Southwark. Alongside this he was also part of the snagging team on site at The Horizon Building in Ilford.
Brandon set up his own photography business during his year out before university and has worked as a freelance photographer all over the world. His love for travel and photography has grown ever since. Outside of work you’ll usually find Brandon playing any kind of sport and enjoying a few cold ones with mates.

Since joining, Zi has been involved in large scale masterplans such as Kingsland Dalston; and small scale developments such as Colliers Wood’s Miflats and Brentford’s office building.Fuelled by a real knack for novel ideas, he is fascinated by the power of architecture in distilling the elements of place, ritual and perception, and how in every crisis lies an opportunity for an interesting provocation, or invitation to make a social impact. As a strong architectural design is not wholly about architects and icon-making, it should, in his opinion, be socially driven, articulating as its backbone nu¬merous human-centred design approaches.
Zi likes photography, swimming and jungle-trekking. |
