Curtis has continued his professional development at practices including 3D Reid and Michael Hyde & Associates, working on commercial, hospitality, residential, and heritage-led projects. His academic interests centre on the regeneration of post-industrial towns and cities, human-centred and sustainable design, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping future urban environments.
Through both commissioned and self-initiated work, Curtis’ practice explores architecture as a tool for spatial, social, and economic transformation. He has contributed to published research and exhibition-based work in collaboration with The Asylum Art Gallery and Arts Council England, and has delivered invited lectures internationally, including at The Peruvian Union University. His wider interests include entrepreneurship, property development, and the future of global cities.
