Our approach

Our designs are community-led

We have built a resource of the ways that architecture can go beyond buildings to support community at every scale – from the dining table to a new masterplan.

We (genuinely) engage with communities

Our range of engagement tools have been developed to empower communities, ensure inclusivity and support the delivery of your projects.

We make complex processes straightforward

With our background in commissioning organisations we understand what you need to know and when. Our clients tell us that we consistently pre-empt their needs, embedding the design process naturally into their projects.

Sustainability is built into all of our processes

From material choices and energy efficiency, to measuring social and economic impacts, we make your projects work for society and the planet.
