As part of our report into how architects approach product specification, we interviewed Maccreanor Lavington’s education lead, Tom Waddicor, who sees the main challenges as relating to changing regulations and the climate

Architects and urbanists Maccreanor Lavington have bases in London and Rotterdam and a portfolio of projects that spans housing, schools and community buildings, workspace, shops and urban mixed use.

Associate architect Tom Waddicor leads the education work for the practice. His projects including the Ibstock Place School refectory building, in Roehampton, south-west London, a design notable for its exposed glue-laminated timber lattice-frame ceiling with inset oak panels, handmade clay tile roofs and brickwork cloisters. The practice uses timber extensively in its projects and, when it comes to specification, sustainable choices are very much front of mind for Waddicor and his colleagues.
