How to rise above it all

摘要

The milestones in Morris' career are intimately connected to those of the practice he founded with three friends from architecture school. The way AHMM works as a practice - individual responsibilities in a collective endeavour - was set up in their fifth year of study. Morris' first major project as a business owner was an unglamorous extension and refurb for some barristers. It taught him a huge amount about contract administration and working with contractors. 'The stakes felt incredibly high,' he says. But he came out unscathed. 'It was a job well done,' he is happy to say, but it was also messy - not one to publish.
