Adams and Sutherland are interested in how the built environment is really experienced, in the buildings we use everyday and the spaces around and between, and creating new places which are both careful and sensuous.

Our emphasis is always on the requirements of the project itself, rather than preconceived stylistic ambition, and our work is grounded in an understanding of the existing physical, cultural and social context.  We aim to produce an eloquent and careful response to even the most complex, varied and conflicting demands and to exceed expectations, creating new places which lift the spirits.

‘A practice with a considerable track record in maintaining a clear and sensitive, often rather magical, design approach on projects for public and private clients........The work shows no sign of compromise, producing surprising beauty in unlikely places’
Kester Rattenbury, Building Design
