This comprehensive approach means you have one dedicated partner who understands your project intimately, reducing risk and maximising value at every stage.

We create cohesive, forward-thinking frameworks that shape communities and transform environments. Our masterplans balance placemaking, sustainability, and commercial viability to establish foundations for long-term success.

Our masterplanning expertise spans large-scale residential developments, educational campuses, and mixed-use schemes that respond sensitively to their context whilst driving regeneration.

We begin by understanding the unique characteristics of your site, its surrounding community, and market dynamics. Through collaborative workshops and stakeholder engagement, we develop strategies that optimise land use, create vibrant public spaces, and establish clear development phases. Our plans integrate sustainable transport solutions, green infrastructure, and climate-resilient design principles.

We consider long-term adaptability, ensuring your masterplan can evolve with changing needs whilst maintaining its core vision. The result is a comprehensive framework that guides decision-making, secures planning buy-in, and delivers commercially viable developments that enhance their surroundings.

Our rigorous analysis unlocks your site’s true potential, identifying opportunities and constraints to inform strategic decisions. We provide clear, commercially-minded guidance to maximise value and establish realistic parameters for development.

Every successful project begins with understanding what’s possible. Our feasibility studies combine architectural expertise with commercial acumen to evaluate development scenarios objectively. We analyse planning policy, site constraints, market conditions, and technical requirements to establish viable options for your site. Our team conducts comprehensive capacity studies that test different configurations, development mixes, and density levels to optimise value whilst respecting local context.

We factor in infrastructure requirements, sustainability targets, and cost implications to present clear recommendations backed by robust analysis. These studies become powerful tools for securing funding, engaging with planning authorities, and making informed investment decisions. Our approach ensures you enter the design process with confidence, armed with realistic expectations and a clear path forward.

We breathe new life into existing buildings, enhancing performance while preserving character and embodied carbon. Our approach balances technical upgrades with design sensitivity to create spaces that meet contemporary needs sustainably.

Retrofit represents architecture at its most thoughtful – transforming the buildings we already have rather than starting afresh. Our retrofit expertise spans heritage conversions, residential refurbishments, and commercial and education adaptations that unlock the potential within existing structures. We begin with detailed surveys and performance assessments to understand a building’s current condition and identify improvement opportunities.

Our approach prioritises fabric-first principles, upgrading insulation, windows, and building envelope performance whilst respecting architectural character. We integrate modern services, accessibility improvements, and spatial reconfiguration to meet contemporary standards without compromising historical integrity. This sensitive approach not only reduces environmental impact by retaining embodied carbon, but often delivers more characterful, cost-effective solutions than new build alternatives. The result is buildings that perform better, last longer, and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.

We design high-performance buildings that deliver exceptional comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. Our Passivhaus expertise creates spaces that significantly reduce operational costs while elevating wellbeing for occupants.

Passivhaus represents the gold standard in sustainable design – buildings that use up to 90% less energy than conventional construction whilst providing superior comfort year-round. Our team includes certified Passivhaus designers who understand the rigorous technical requirements and design principles necessary to achieve this demanding standard. We integrate high-performance insulation, triple-glazed windows, thermal bridge-free construction, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery from the earliest design stages.

Our approach considers every detail, from window positioning to junction design, ensuring the building envelope performs as a unified system. We use sophisticated energy modelling to verify performance and identify optimisation opportunities. The result is buildings that maintain consistent temperatures, exceptional air quality, and minimal energy bills whilst supporting occupant health and wellbeing. This expertise positions your project at the forefront of sustainable construction, future-proofing against rising energy costs and increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

We integrate environmental responsibility into every aspect of our design process, creating buildings that benefit people and planet. Our approach combines innovative strategies with practical solutions to achieve meaningful sustainability targets.

Sustainability isn’t an add-on – it’s fundamental to how we design. Our comprehensive approach addresses embodied carbon, operational energy, material selection, biodiversity, water management, and social sustainability as interconnected elements of every project. We begin by establishing clear environmental targets aligned with your values and regulatory requirements. Our team can evaluate design options using whole-life carbon assessments, ensuring we make informed decisions about materials, construction methods, and building performance. We integrate renewable energy systems, natural ventilation strategies, and biophilic design principles that connect occupants with nature.

Our designs incorporate circular economy principles, specifying materials with low environmental impact and high recyclability. We also consider resilience to climate change, designing buildings that can adapt to future conditions. This holistic approach creates buildings that operate efficiently, support biodiversity, and contribute positively to their communities whilst delivering exceptional spaces for people to inhabit.

We can coordinate health and safety across your project, ensuring compliance while maintaining design integrity. Our experienced team manages risk proactively throughout the design and construction process for safer, more efficient project delivery.

As principal designer, we take responsibility for coordinating health and safety considerations throughout the design and pre-construction phases of your project. Our experienced team understands the critical intersection between design decisions and construction safety, ensuring that health and safety requirements enhance rather than compromise design quality. We establish clear protocols for hazard identification, risk assessment, and design review that integrate seamlessly with our design process.

Our approach involves early engagement with contractors, specialists, and other designers to identify potential risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies. We can maintain comprehensive health and safety files, coordinate design information, and ensure all team members understand their responsibilities. This proactive approach to safety management not only ensures regulatory compliance but often identifies opportunities for more efficient construction methods and improved building performance. The result is safer construction sites, reduced project risk, and buildings designed with long-term maintenance and operational safety in mind.

We bring architectural concepts to life through compelling visual storytelling that communicates design intent with clarity and impact. Our visualisations help stakeholders understand spatial qualities, material choices, and the experience of your future building.

Exceptional architecture begins with shared vision. Our visualisation team creates powerful imagery that bridges the gap between technical drawings and experiential reality, helping everyone involved understand how spaces will look, feel, and function. Using cutting-edge software and rendering techniques, we produce photorealistic images that capture atmosphere, materiality, and human interaction within our designs. Our visualisations range from early conceptual sketches that explore design possibilities to detailed renderings that support planning applications and marketing campaigns. We create interior perspectives that demonstrate spatial flow and natural light quality, exterior views that show how buildings relate to their context, and aerial views that communicate masterplan concepts.

Our team also produces animated walkthroughs and virtual reality experiences that allow stakeholders to inhabit spaces before they’re built. This visual communication can be essential for securing planning consent, engaging communities, attracting investment, and ensuring everyone shares the same vision for your project’s success.
