I'm a chartered architect with over 30 years' experience and am passionate about providing the best possible quality of environment for my clients

As the founder of Loyn & Co Architects, I set up in practice in 1987. Together with the team, we work both locally and nationally. Our projects have included numerous one-off residential commissions, multiple housing/apartment complexes, as well as arts, commercial & ecclesiastical schemes. Having established a strong reputation over the years for designing & creating quality architecture, the practice has built on its reputation to execute larger public projects and a selection of significant master planning proposals. Loyn & Co has a strong design philosophy providing bespoke projects that build on a consistency of language and techniques developed and tested over time.

I am a founder parent of Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales: a charity for children in Wales who have cerebral palsy. My youngest son, Jack, born in 1989, has cerebral palsy. As a result of my direct first-hand experience, we've undertaken many architectural projects – either adapting existing buildings or constructing new – to meet the needs of individuals, families or organizations involved with disability.

I am a visiting / external tutor at The Welsh School of Architecture and have also taught at other Universities in the UK. I am President of the Penarth Civic Society.

I am also a well-recognized artist, working primarily in watercolour and exhibitions of my work have been held in South Wales and London, including at the Royal Institute of British Architects. I have made regular contributions on radio & television, and was a presenter on the BAFTA award winning series 'Hot Houses' which featured many examples of the practice's work.
