We listen to people's stories of how they live, and how they want to live, and work to enable this through spatial design.
We design spaces which are barrier-free and accessible to everyone, through engaging people in the design process.
We think that this should be prioritised because it improves everyone's experience of the built environment; when people feel included both in the process and in the built result, their involvement ensures meaningful and joyful use.
Our first thought on starting to design is: how will people use this space.

The principle of the ramp house was to design and build a family home for a little girl who is a wheelchair user, where the whole house enables her to lead a barrier free included life.
We are often confronted with the physical barriers that the built environment presents; in our own home we were able to design a fully inclusive place; using a ramp to access all levels, provides an equality of space to us all.
We have designed spaces along the ramp, connecting both horizontally and vertically, so that the experience of the house changes as it unfolds.

The design process gave us the opportunity to work through the whole family's needs, thinking about how we wanted to live, and what spaces we needed to do this.
When we knew that Greta would need an adapted environment to support her everyday life, it seemed to be one of the most obvious things that we could do for her.
We have always had the philosophy that she is part of everything, and that we need to find ways around (physical or other) obstacles.
The house was designed with her, and the rest of the family, in mind from the start, which has allowed us to build a uniquely enabling inclusive environment that works for us all.
