Matthew Smale,

Part 1 Architectural Assistant

Matthew studied architecture at the University of Bath, graduating with a Part 1 qualification in 2022. He used his studies to explore his interest of non-digital methods within the design process, specifically focusing on physical modelling. This exploration of craft, alongside a desire to contribute to environmental stability, resulted in his final university project: a community repair centre in Camden.

Matthew grew up in a coastal village in Devon which has developed his love of the ocean and swimming. He looks forward to holidays in Ireland where he spends time with family and fills each day with too many activities. Outside of work he likes to unwind with trips to local parks, playing piano, and exploring London. He has had previous employment at a small practice, but he is looking forward to increasing his experience of architecture and developing his love of problem-solving within the varied range of projects at Cooley Architects.

Matt now works as an architectural assistant at Northlight Architects
