We create high-quality, sustainable spaces for companies and communities. Using a cross-discipline approach, we can provide a range of services to add value to your project and maximise the potential revenue of your site.
Strategic Services
We’re not just commercial architects and designers, we’re problem solvers and managers. Just some of the strategic advice we can provide includes:
Feasibility Studies & Site Appraisals
Utilising our creative research-based approach for planning approvals, including for complex and sensitive sites.
Concept Development & Story Building
Crafting a distinct and original ‘Manifesto’ brief against which designs are measured.
Financial Document Production & Negotiation
The development of finance applications for statutory funding and other grants, or tender documentation to assist cost negotiations.
Technical Services
Creating CGI models of the project, preparing special presentations, marketing or record drawings, models and photography.
Environmental Planning
Assessments of local biodiversity, natural environments, life cycle and embodied carbon analysis.
Historic Building Planning
Outlining the historic or archaeological significance of a building within its wider setting, including Heritage Impact Assessments.
Community & Consultation
We believe that meaningful dialogue and the building of strong relationships are integral parts of ensuring that projects are relevant for people and places.
Our community and participatory approaches were developed through working with Architecture Sans Frontieres and encompass:
Community Engagement
We work with communities and users to empower them to play an active role in the design process and collaboratively shape their built environment.
Public Consultation
Local residents are given the opportunity to inform the project briefs and create meaningful spaces through a range of participatory tools.
Post Occupancy Evaluation
Communities are given the opportunity to test building performance before and after works to set measurable targets.
Research
We combine theory and practice to bring cutting-edge, sustainable thinking into every project. Services stemming from our research include:
SMART Technology
Specification and integration options.
Building Performance
Such as thermal optimisation, air quality and summer cooling strategies.
Affordability Studies
Using financial data to explore how cost savings could be realised through the development of the procurement chain.
Occupational Studies
Testing building performance before and after works to set specific and measurable targets.
