Proficiencies

We work across a wide range of sectors and typologies, including civic & culture, heritage, hospitality, masterplanning, mixed-use, residential, science and health, and workplace. In each instance our approach is highly crafted, sustainable, human, and contextual. Our in-house model workshop and expertise in cutting-edge digital design tools complement one another, allowing ideas to be explored rigorously and efficiently, using different techniques, materials and scales.

Our open and progressive approach to collaborative technologies has helped us build a long-standing reputation for intelligent 3D project delivery and integrated parametric design. We first adopted BIM as part of our core process when the practice was founded in 2013. Today, it allows us to develop intelligent, innovative and fully coordinated architectural solutions with increasingly greater cost certainty, efficiency and sustainability.

As a practice aligned with UKGBC goals we recognise our responsibility to contribute to a low-carbon future. We use sustainable, regenerative, and climate-resilient design practices to mitigate the environmental impact of our buildings while fostering resilient, healthy, and liveable spaces, using sustainable design principles to optimise natural light, ventilation and thermal comfort.

Within residential, commercial and hospitality, our team is always thinking beyond the base build to the elements which will define, inform and enrich a project’s interior layout, lighting, and palette. Our role ranges from working directly with end-user organisations in the life science sector to understand and enhance how complex organisations function, to collaborating with leading interior designers on the creative direction of unique high-end homes.

Our urban planners create development robust and resilient frameworks. Each begins with an in-depth analysis of what is missing from a site, followed by a creative and coherent vision for its physical and social spaces. We focus on how new developments will connect to existing parts of a city and its infrastructure. Our team are adept at marrying architecture and public space, integrating the old and the new, and carefully phasing development around public life.

We use research to inform our design by studying environmental, social, and historical contexts. We analyse climate, materials, and sustainability to create efficient, functional spaces.
