About
Transformative Design, Controlled Outcomes
We see constraints as creative opportunities. Tight budgets, challenging sites, and complex requirements become the starting points for our most thoughtful work. Our tagline captures our approach: designing transformative environments while delivering controlled outcomes for our clients.
The Bookends of Life
We've spent four decades focused on schools and care homes, creating places that inspire students to learn, seniors feel truly at home, and where people of all ages feel warmth and welcome. This focus on the bookends of life drives our understanding of how good design truly impacts daily life, no matter how old you are.
Sustainability: Building for Generations
Sustainability is integral to responsible design. Our team includes LEED accredited professionals who work on leading-edge zero carbon projects, and we believe the best solutions start with smart design fundamentals. We prioritize passive design strategies, build in flexibility and select systems that align with our clients' immediate and long-term goals, creating environments that are practical to operate while minimizing environmental impact over the building's lifetime.
Stewardship of Trust
Whether working with public funds or private investments, we take our role as stewards of our clients' resources and their community's ambitions seriously. We work alongside diverse communities to understand their unique cultural and practical requirements, co-creating designs that honour each community's distinct identity and values. Every design decision considers both immediate function and long-term value, ensuring that our work serves the people who use it for generations to come.
