Good design transforms lives and rejuvenates places. We focus on the needs of the people who use our buildings and aim to improve their emotional wellbeing and environment. This simple philosophy informs all our work.

Our culture combines the distinctive personalities of our founders. We are creative and social, collaborative and technical. We are proud of our attention to detail and ability to design and deliver successful buildings.

Our integrated  team of urban designers, planners, landscape architects and interior designers work with our architects to create communities that perform for the inhabitants and our clients.

We have particular expertise in offsite technologies, with experience of almost every current form of construction, from shipping container hotels to cross-laminated timber structures and flat-packed buildings.

Founded in 1953, we are an employee owned practice of around 300 staff across nine UK offices.
