About Hugh

Hugh graduation photo-01

I am from Barbados, where I have lived most of my life. 

I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Technology, Jamaica. In addition, I graduated with a Master of Architecture (M.Arch) degree from Florida A&M University.

In addition to graduating with a 4.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) in my architectural master’s degree programme, I received several awards. These include the following:

  • American Institute of Architects (AIA) Florida Bronze Medal, 
  • Architectural Research Center Consortium (ARCC) King Research Award
  • AIA Henry Adams M.Arch Medal 
  • Thesis Studio Award

With over eighteen years of professional experience in Barbados and the USA, I am a driven designer, passionate about architecture. What I find fascinating is the architecture that responds to the climate, context and culture of the place and its people.

I have been an introvert and reticent all my life. However, I want to share my thoughts, experiences and journey online.

In addition to this site, I have a blog called Architropics. It talks about design ideas and inspiration for homes in tropical regions.

Feel free to reach out to me. I would love to hear from you.

If you would like to share in my journey, feel free to follow along.
