ELKINS PORTILLO

In the final year of my degree, an opportunity arose to work with Stan Bolt: Architect during my year in industry in 2001. The experience was rich and diverse and with an emphasis on quality in every aspect of the role. The careful and considered detailing of all elements within a project, in tandem with the focused involvement on site was extremely rewarding. This experience, combined with Stan´s approach and philosophy towards design along with his unwavering enthusiasm and passion, galvanised my desire for a career in architecture... After being awarded my Post Graduate Diploma in 2004, I was fortunate to be able to re-join Stan as he had taken on some exciting new projects and I remained with the Practice for the next sixteen years.
