Architecture

Successful architecture is the synergy of art and science - where architectural creativity meets functionality to create and shape spaces that inspire and endure.

Architecture is about more than just buildings; it’s about creating place - founded from and inspired by its location. Each scheme is lead by a commitment to understand its location, context, and unique characteristics, developing creative solutions that meet the project goals. Whether we are shaping a new neighbourhood centre, delivering a mixed use urban regeneration scheme, or repurposing existing buildings and structures, we recognise that people and place are fully interconnected.

We see our role as holistically blending diverse requirements and disciplines in a creative process. We work closely with Clients, stakeholders, communities and the wider team, listening to ideas and incorporating feedback at every stage.

We are committed to designing buildings that are sustainable at all levels; taking a fabric first holistic approach, from energy efficiency and material selection, to incorporating renewable sources. Our goal is to ensure that we engender positive change in the environment that will support the needs of our ever-evolving society.

We stay at the forefront of architectural innovation, leveraging technology and research to create spaces with rich identities. We seek to utilise new technology in order to improve both our professional services and the quality of the places we create.

Approach

We apply a creative, inquisitive approach to architectural design by:

  • Undertaking an analysis of existing context, character and identity to understand qualities and possibilities

  • Identify key opportunities to inform an architectural design approach

  • Develop a conceptual approach, considering, exploring and evaluating alternative options

  • Establish a strong vision for each proposal

  • Reconcile and blend the diverse range of inputs, collaborating with the wider team

    Shape and refine architectural solutions informed by technical work

  • Positively engage and collaborate with stakeholders to ensure ideas are robust and deliverable

  • Support the planning and delivery process
