Jordan__Cathcart Founder
Hey there! I'm Jordan Cathcart, the co-founder of DC Collective and an architect with a passion for innovative design. My journey in architecture has taken me from the bustling cities of China to the dynamic landscapes of Qatar. During my university years, I had the honor of being nominated for the RIBA Silver President's Award, a recognition that fueled my drive to create impactful designs.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, from towering skyscrapers to intricate metro stations, earning international acclaim along the way. Since returning to the UK, my focus has been on award-winning commercial projects and crafting bespoke homes for sports clients.
When I'm not immersed in design, you'll find me mountaineering across the globe or strumming my guitar. I believe in the utmost attention to detail in all aspects of design, always striving to meet and exceed my clients' needs.
Welcome to my corner of the architectural world, where creativity and precision go hand in hand.
Ahmad__Iqbal Founder
As co-founder of DC Collective, I bring a deep commitment to design excellence, specialising in bespoke residential architecture. My portfolio spans high-profile projects, including the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, where I’ve applied my passion for architectural detailing and holistic project delivery.
With over a decade of experience leading my own practice, I’ve successfully managed and delivered complex projects across China, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom. My approach integrates design, procurement, and construction into a seamless process, resulting in spaces that are both stunning and commercially viable.
I’m driven by a philosophy of responsible, conscious design—an ethos shaped by my international experience and cultural explorations. Outside of architecture, you’ll find me mountain biking, hiking, or indulging in culinary adventures that fuel my love for travel.
Welcome to DC Collective, where design excellence meets precision in delivery.
