Alex Douglas

Architect

Alex Douglas is a chartered Architect with wide ranging design experience spanning transport, leisure and education. He is driven by a belief in design that places users and the wider community at the centre of every project, creating spaces that deliver meaningful social value. His portfolio includes leading and contributing to projects of all scales - from small refurbishments and accessibility improvements to the concept design and delivery of new schools and transport stations.

Beyond architecture, Alex’s love of making continues to thrive. He channels his creativity into woodwork, leathercraft and baking, and is currently immersed in a full house renovation. When he’s not building or crafting something, he’s usually out in the mountains, hiking or climbing his way along a sunny ridge.
