His interest in master planning has seen him lead award winning projects such as the Valley Heart Master Plan and Canterbury College Master Plan. Rhonan’s ability to consider alternative design solutions which creates additional value in built projects is a key strength, while his flair for flexible and adaptable designs often results in delivering above and beyond Client expectations.
