Practice

The everyday human experience is the starting point for our design. Whether designing for users, passengers, residents, or passers-by, we make buildings and spaces to enrich people’s lives.

Great design is produced by great people. We aspire to provide a supportive and fulfilling working environment to nurture the talent of our global professional team.

Teamwork, collaboration, and empathy are inherent in good design. Recognising when to support, and when to lead, we bring rigour, responsibility and humility to each project, delivering strong design to predictable timescales.

Strong design concepts are the foundation of good design. Born out of experience, innovation, and a deep appreciation of the character of place, we deliver high-value, sustainable solutions to inspire and delight.

Craft is fundamental to our work, whether expressed through elegant details or through physical model-making which is an integral part of our design process.

We embrace construction challenges to generate elegant, durable structures and spaces that are simple to build and easy to maintain.

We are careful to work with responsible clients and project partners and prioritise projects with the greatest benefits to people lives.

We create buildings, spaces and infrastructure that will have a long-lasting impact. Focussing on the human experience ensures that we create healthy places that lift the spirits and are sustainable for future generations.

Our ethics inform our behaviours, how we support our staff, and relate to the world around us. They are the foundation to an approach that always strives to make a positive difference.
