Ian Hall
Founder and Managing Director, or ‘boss’ as many people call him.
Ian is an Architect and social entrepreneur who prefers to work and play in the outdoors. In 2009 he founded Arkitrek, which has embodied his passion for conservation of nature and wild places into a unique architectural practice.
The question of ‘what architecture has to do with wilderness?’ continues to bug Ian and direct his work. He is an expert in sustainable design, in particular tropical passive design and the integration of architecture with social infrastructure and the natural environment.
Ian is skilled in participatory design and group facilitation and engages with volunteers, students and communities in much of his work.
Prior to founding Arkitrek, Ian worked for 10 years in commercial architectural practice in London, Auckland and Edinburgh. He graduated from Dundee University in 1998 and passed the RIBA Part III examination in 2000. He is registered with the UK Architect’s Registration Board (ARB).
Ian’s core skills are:
Architectural Design, Tropical Passive Design, Facilitation & Training, Participatory Design, Community Engagement, Responsible Tourism Standards, Ecology & Nature Conservation Issues.
