Duncan Hadland BArch PGDipPD&M

Duncan graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1992.  He worked for Bentel Abramson & Partners one of the largest architectural practices in South Africa on commercial projects from hospitals to £100M shopping centres.  He moved to England with his family in 1999 working firstly in Guildford for Tuffin Feraby & Taylor on JD Weatherspoon's projects and then joined The Pearce Group in Bristol.  He ran various projects including the new Bristol & West offices in Stoke Gifford (£3.5M) and a food processing plant for Dalehead Foods in Manchester(£7M).

Since 2004 he has gained a wealth of experience in residential architecture working for various local practices, councils, housing associations, and house builders.

In 2007 Duncan formed the company 3DSketch Ltd in Malmesbury initially for contracting purposes but as the work accumulated he opened an office firstly in Brinkworth and then moved to the High Street in Malmesbury.

He has a small support team and works closely with other local consultants.
