One of the original founders of CCD, Andrew joined his former partners in 1981 establishing Cresswell, Cuttle and Dyke and is now the firm`s Managing Director. After graduating from Liverpool University {B.A.{Hons}, B.Arch.{Hons}, he specialised in Health Authority work and Historic Building Conservation. A lot of the practice`s work reflects this and his increasing interest in individual, organic house design drawing upon historic references forms the core of the practice`s design ethos and use of natural building materials.
