About Us

Your project deserves an individual approach.  If you want to go beyond a one size fits all solution, we have the vision and experience to deliver. 

Your input is encouraged and respected. Using the collective creativity and knowledge of everyone involved brings a valuable sense of ownership and responsibility. One that will result in impact, meaning and a strong legacy.

Invite us on-site: we relish getting our boots dirty. Time spent in a space allows us to understand its context, breathe its air and experience it in all weathers and all moods.

Once we understand how a building or space will be used – and critically by who – we can start designing.

 

Our Values

People First

We believe that people are the key ingredient to making great places to live, work and play; this is why we put them at the centre of everything we design. We think that delivering excellent, people focussed buildings is the best way to be consistently successful - great places attract more people, more people attract more business. Design for people, by people.

Think Left Field

Every project has it’s own unique characteristics, sometimes the best design solution is not always obvious. We take time to listen to our clients and seek to understand the individuality of each project through observation and analysis. These insights dictate our design ideas. We love this process, it leads to solutions of greater clarity and relevance, and sometimes takes us where we least expect!

Consider the Long Term

Most buildings we design are going to be here long after we’re gone. We want our buildings to be just as good in many years time as they are on day one, this influences how we design. We think about full life cycle costs, energy use, maintenance and future adaptability. True sustainability requires long term thinking.
