About

Passionately enriching your life

"We believe in
enhancing lifestyles for all."

PF+A’s vision and culture illustrate the values which work together to define us as a Practice, why we undertake our work and what we really care about. 

Our values are appropriately difficult to change but do evolve over time. 

Our vision provides our purpose and sets out the aspirations for the business, providing clarity on our future direction and growth, whilst the culture of PF+A embodies the values of the Practice, how we work together and our ethos.

Our Vision

Our Vision sits at the core of our values and indicates our desire to create lifestyle enhancing environments that are aspirational to clients and communities. We will generate an emotional response that involves analytical and critical thinking.

We want to be adaptable and have a rigorous approach. We want to remain relevant, become renowned and be considered one of the best not only inside the Channel Islands but further afield too. We engage through collaboration and participation taking advantage of our diversity, cross sector specialism and expertise. We seek to exceed expectations.


Excellence, honesty

& passion

Trust, Respect and Integrity

We are professional in all we do and demonstrate integrity. We treat each other with respect and endeavour to treat each other as we would want to be treated ourselves. As a Practice we are open about our work and the reasons for the decisions we take. We aim to impart trust and confidence in all staff, to our clients and to all external parties who deal with us.

PF+A is well-recognised within the industry for its trust, respect and integrity and aims to seek work from clients, consultants and contractors who have similar standards.

Sustainable and Resilient

Peter Falla built a business upon the strong foundations of hard work, integrity and commitment. It is these qualities that have enabled us to survive industry recessions and downturns whilst growing across the Channel Islands. A succession plan is already underway to ensure the Practice will continue into the future under the stewardship of the next generation.

"We engage through

collaboration& participation."

Happy Healthy Humans

We believe that humans are the key to any successful endeavour. We pride ourselves on fostering a friendly and safe environment in which our staff have autonomy to work when and how they like. PF+A encourages a healthy lifestyle; fresh fruit is available for our staff, all workstations are stand/sit desks and staff are rewarded for leaving their cars at home.

We promote training and actively encourage personal development creating a stimulating environment that encourages a sense of ownership, achievement and enjoyment.

Client Empathy and Collaboration

We believe the best results come from working together. Having a healthy and vibrant design culture enables PF+A to deliver a superior service. We are able to put ourselves into our clients’ shoes and actively choose to engage with them throughout the design and build of their projects.


Encouragement & Dedication

Sociable and Affable

We are well known for our sociable and friendly staff and offices, clients state that our people really do make a difference. Whilst we expect to work hard, we also wish to encourage a friendly, caring and sociable atmosphere. One that not only cares and supports those who work for it, but also contributes to selected charities and causes. The organising and participation in regular social events and fundraising activities is testament to the fun and sociable nature of all those the Practice employs.

Recognition and Reward

All staff are valued by the business. We share our profits with our staff and each member is enrolled in our Cultural Enrichment Programme providing support for lifestyle enhancement travel. We allow autonomous working across the company with no constraints over working hours.

Evolve and Improve

We strive to continuously evolve and spend time researching future developments in construction and business. We actively encourage students on works experience and keep engaged with the stars of tomorrow. All staff dedicate a proportion of their working year to CPD training.

Having been educated and grown up in Guernsey and developing a passion for technical design work, information technology and an intrigue for building design and history during his GCSE years, Oliver decided to commence his career in 1999 as an Architectural Technologist with Lovell Ozanne one of the largest architectural practices in the Channel Islands,  During those first inspiring 9 years he gained his BTEC HNC qualification increasing his fundamental experience and developing his knowledge base by working on multi-million pound commercial and residential developments including, Mixed Use and Redevelopment Areas (MURA), offices, apartments and industrial units.  

Moving to the States of Guernsey’s Property Services Team in 2008, Oliver was able to learn invaluable working skills and practices, increasing his expanding skillset in tendering and contract administration, whilst having the opportunity to work on public buildings and the differing challenges brought about by these types of projects. These projects encompassed education premises, States buildings with high security requirements, projects at the airport and harbours and fully accessible health facilities.  Full Accessibility audits for the health facilities became a prominent project for Oliver as his career progressed and he carried out a number of audits and reports for substantial business within the Island.

Now with a total of 21 years’ experience within the industry, his expansive knowledge not only covers all areas of a very vast field, but includes all aspects of a project from inception right through to the final handover of a completed project; which, for Oliver is the most rewarding experience. 

Oliver’s exceptional wealth of knowledge has lead him to gain his chartership with the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and was formally invited to become an Interview Assessor for the Institute in 2015, a position limited to only a small number and in which someone can only be invited by the Institute.  Oliver completed the necessary assessor training a few months later.  

Ever striving to continue growing and expanding his professional knowledge, Oliver is a driven member of PF+A and one of the top in his field. With his professional yet friendly approachable nature he is an individual able to facilitate and communicate to clients, contractors, sub-contractors and other third parties to ensure that a project is always the best it can be.  Internally an exceptional trainer to the less experienced members of the team with an ease of teaching methods to ensure an unseamingly level of continuity for their development.

In his spare time Oliver enjoys spending time with his young family of three daughters, experiencing travelling and cultural diversity and of course Guernsey’s beautiful outdoor environment.
