Hello

My name is Jo Hobohm and I'm an architectural designer with an MA in Architecture from Cambridge University and an architecture diploma from the University of Greenwich in London.  I've run my own firm specialising in domestic extensions, whole house refurbishments and one off houses since 2013 and I am based in Cambridge, UK.

My Story

Although I was born in England, I spent most of my childhood in Libya and Kuwait where my dad worked as a civil engineer.  Every part of Kuwait was under construction when we were there and I think this explains my love of building sites, big and small.  As a graduate architect I struggled to identify with the glamour of the 'star-chitect' and I chose to work in the booming cities of Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur through the early 90s.  

On my return to London I tried my hand at a new career in Film and TV.  I continued to work with large architecture firms in between training and filming as a Stand-by Art Director and you can get more of an insight into this in my what are you talking about blog post

​

In the end, I was drawn back to architecture and the beautiful city of my undergraduate years, Cambridge.  I worked for a local firm for nearly 10 years before setting up on my own.

​

I offer a highly personalized service to clients who have mostly never worked with architects before and mostly never undertaken significant building projects. I begin with establishing a brief and work with the clients through to design, permissions, pricing and the construction period itself.  This blog is a summary of the kind of advice I give along the way as well as some extra stuff that there isn't always time for.
