We have a colourful portfolio with work in housing, mixed use, small scale commercial, works to existing buildings and new-built and clients including developers, housing associations, local authorities and private individuals. Our design process is a collaborative undertaking that takes account of the constraints of each site and the sometimes disparate views of residents, clients, planners, contractors and specialist consultants.
Through careful and site-responsive planning and innovative materials and construction methods, we have evolved a speciality in unlocking complex urban sites to create bright spacious and flexible spaces. Sustainability is a major concern for us. We reject the notion of a fixed design-life-expectancy common in contemporary construction. For us, sustainable architecture can accommodate the changing needs of its occupants, is adaptable, can be upgraded and repaired.
Life in the city is about carefully mediating between private and public space, individual ambitions and communal interests.

Services
We work with a wide range of clients including developers, local authorities, charities and community groups.
What unites them is a desire to deliver more than just well-designed architecture.
Often we are brought in to work on projects with politically delicate stakeholder relations, where communication is paramount or where there is an ambition to utilise the design process to deliver social good.
We know that our projects have helped our clients to deliver additional benefits such as place making, job creation, economic prosperity, skills, community cohesion, well-being or reduced planning risk.
