Helen Flynn March, PGDip ARB

Having trained at the Manchester School of Architecture, Helen returned to her hometown of Swansea to work at Air Architecture. At the end of 2023 Helen decided to start her own practice, having gained a wealth of experience at Air. Helen completed her Part 3 Postgraduate Diploma in Architecture: Professional Practice at Cardiff University with a distinction, gaining the Stanley Cox Award for best overall performance on the course.

Helen has always always had a keen interest in making and alongside her work in practice, Helen produces papercut art pieces and commissions and has had her work displayed at the Ruthin Craft Centre, Found Gallery in Brecon, and in Craft in the Bay in Cardiff. She was commissioned to create work for Iaith ar Daith on S4C in 2020. As well as her work in practice, Helen has also worked as a design tutor for 1st and 2nd year BSc Architecture students at the UWSTD.

As a Welsh speaker Helen offers a bi-lingual service and is always happy to work with clients through the medium of Welsh. Incorporating Welsh into architectural practice demonstrates respect for the local culture and heritage, fostering a deeper connection with the community. Being able to communicate with clients, contractors, and stakeholders in their native language can enhance understanding and collaboration, leading to more successful projects.
