We are an award-winning, architectural and urban design practice deeply interested in the potential to be found within the process of repair, adjustment and transformation of existing buildings, public spaces and difficult or unloved corners of the city. We consider the practice of architecture should be responsible, broad and beneficial to as many people as possible. We seek to embrace function, need and existing conditions, whilst being alert to the opportunities for delight in even the most unpromising conditions.

Our wide experience in delivering successful buildings and public spaces, brings together our love of architecture, landscape and urban design to consider the quality and character of a whole place, including the territory around and between buildings, as well as their interiors and built envelope. We seek to create places which are meaningful and uplifting, and which resonate with all those  who live, work and travel through them.

We believe it is critical to understand the specific qualities of a place, the physical, economic and cultural realities, so that careful observation inform intelligent strategies for delightful places that function well but exceed expectation.

We take seriously our commitment to sustainable design and the need to adopt a response to the climate emergency. We have to be ready to build any new building as Net Zero but as advocates of a no demolition approach, are also committed to the complex challenge of transforming existing structures to the same high standard.
