Architecture is their core activity and passion. They have been fortunate to build, and continue to build, long-term relationships with demanding design-led professional clients, consultants, contractors and suppliers. They work on projects of all scales and across many typologies from inception to completion.
Their urban design and masterplanning work operates at a scale larger than architecture, but is constantly informed by dialogue with the design of buildings, spaces and interiors across the practice. Their team is heavily involved in teaching and research, but their work is grounded in an awareness of the ways in which cities are built: economically, physically and socially.
Interiors, in their view, means designing for the productive and enjoyable use of a building. They work across many sectors and typologies some of which can be idiosyncratic. They aim to create a stimulating environment whether the project is an arts centre, a brand new industry or an established corporation’s headquarters.
They seek elegant resolutions to the forces, pressures and constrictions that generate the starting point for most projects: the brief. To achieve this, they draw on the considerable experience, ability, energy and enthusiasm of the remarkable group of people who choose to work at the practice, in teams scaled to the project.
