Architect David Welbourne checks the paperwork

David Welbourne was at Habitat in Botley, to advise customers with their house plans and design problems.

Mr Welbourne, a senior architect at Gray Baynes & Shew, based in Beaumont Street, charged £10 per session.

The total raised, £100, will go to the homeless charity Shelter.

Mr Welbourne's visit was part of a national initiative organised by Habitat, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Arts Council.

Gray Baynes & Shew specialises in educational, healthcare and historic buildings. It recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
