Community and inclusivity guide our thinking around creating architecture which responds to its social and economic environment.

 
 

 

At our core we are architects, designers, urban designers and learners all striving towards a common goal; to produce excellent work underpinned by sustainability and built in unison with unique socio-economic demands. Each project is approached uniquely given the individual requirements of the brief, client group, site, and the questions they pose. Every project offers the chance to create a design solution to enhance the end user’s engagement with their built environment. We challenge ourselves to deliver architecture which is of the highest quality and accessible for all. Continuous learning comes from every project we undertake and feeds into future work. This generates development of the practice’s core principles and skills.

The client and the end users are the principal design focus common to all our projects. We work with a lot of client groups approaching construction work for the first time. We work closely with them guiding them through their project and ensuring they understand the process fully. Our approach is to challenge a brief, interrogate the key requirements and fully understand a client’s needs. Through a focus on people and communities, we often find solutions which create spaces that enhance the briefed scope. Continuous engagement with the end user ensures their requirements are delivered through to the final built design.

Our design approach looks to encompass a spectrum of factors including sustainability, accessibility, urban context, environmental setting, economic constraints, and a social response. As a result, our architecture offers a response to a brief which is both site specific and delivers a social benefit to its setting. Our community led focus is driven by accessibility for all, creating well designed spaces which make lives easier. Our architecture looks to offer space where individuals and communities can take over and build their own environment.
