Nikki and Jordana met while working on a live build project at "Set Up" Art Fair in Bologna, Italy.  They continued to complete their Diploma in Architecture RIBA together at the CASS faculty of Art and Architecture. It was here they advanced their mutual interest in the capabilities of architecture in the humanitarian sector. On completion they immediately undertook the design, build and project management of a nursery school in The Gambia with a wider team.

On returning to the UK with a newly honed skill set they initiated Here There Architecture, combining their experience in the commercial sector with a very ‘hands on’ methodology, providing a wide range of programmes across borders.
