He grew up in the town of Malvern, Worcestershire and was educated at Hanley Castle Grammar School before studying at the University of Nottingham (1968–71) and the Architectural Association (1972-4). He formed Branson Coates Architecture with Doug Branson in 1985-2006. The collaboration with Jigsaw Clothing Company lasted for a number of years around the 1980s and continued into latter part of the last century.
