James Mickelburgh

Jensen Hunt Design/ViridiPath

James’ passion for high quality, sustainable design and construction means that he is constantly pushing the boundaries of how engineering is interwoven into successful building projects. With an ethos based on minimising impact James looks to find holistic solutions that go beyond traditional approaches to structural engineering.

Because of this James and his design practice have taken matters into their own hands and have successfully completed their own development project creating highly energy efficient, high quality homes that are loved by their owners and genuinely improve their living experience and well being.

Solving problems is instinctively woven into James’ personality and he is currently looking to combine the construction and tech industries together through collaboration to create innovative software platforms that help to decarbonise building projects, make scope three reporting easier and provide tools and road maps for low carbon, natural material building solutions.
