Architecture sectors:

Housing

Delivering the homes the UK needs demands experience, resourcefulness and a clear understanding of the complexities of housing delivery. We work with clients, communities and delivery partners to create well-designed, practical homes and neighbourhoods that respond to local needs and stand the test of time.

Our architects, engineers and building safety specialists bring together technical expertise, meaningful user engagement and pragmatic advice across both the public and private sectors. We are a Gold Standard NHS SBS construction consultancy provider.

Civic, Community & Leisure

Civic and community buildings should be places people value, use and feel proud of. Our experience spans new-build, refurbished, repurposed and reimagined schools, civic centres, libraries and leisure facilities, helping them meet changing needs while remaining welcoming, useful and relevant.

Urban Renewal

Successful regeneration is about more than replacing buildings. We work with clients and communities to transform neighbourhoods that are no longer working as they should, combining ambitious thinking with practical delivery to create places with stronger identity, greater opportunity and a renewed sense of belonging.

Refurbishment, Remediation and Re-use

Existing buildings can often be adapted, improved and given a new lease of life. From clinical spaces and offices to homes and heritage buildings, we refurbish, repurpose and convert buildings to meet changing needs, balancing design ambition with practicality, cost and a more circular direction.

Our Architecture services:

Feasibility

We help clients understand what is possible from the outset, testing opportunities, constraints, viability and planning strategy to establish a clear route forward. Drawing on extensive planning experience, we develop well-considered proposals and supporting Design and Access Statements to help projects progress successfully through the planning process.

Planning & Strategic Design

We combine creative thinking with a strong understanding of context, planning and delivery. Working closely with clients and stakeholders, we develop thoughtful, award-winning designs and guide projects through the planning process, supported by clear design strategies and well-considered Design and Access Statements.

Technical Design & Delivery

Our technical team brings extensive experience across large mixed-use developments, refurbishment, remediation, retrofit and change of use. With qualified Passivhaus designers within the team, strong technical expertise and robust BIM processes, we develop coordinated, buildable solutions that respond to project complexity, evolving regulation and the practical demands of delivery.

Principal Designer - Building Regulations & CDM

Our specialist teams provide Principal Designer services under both the Building Regulations and CDM Regulations, with extensive experience in HRB’s (higher-risk buildings). We support new-build and refurbishment projects through the Building Safety Act process, including Gateway 2 and Gateway 3, providing practical guidance on compliance, design coordination and the management of building safety information from design through to construction and delivery.

Co-design and Consultation

Collaboration is central to our design approach. We work directly with clients, communities and end users to understand what matters to them and ensure their needs are reflected in the design. Our teams are particularly experienced in projects where engagement is complex, sensitive or critical to building trust, shaping proposals and achieving successful outcomes.

Design Guardian and Technical Adviser

We provide design guardianship and technical advice throughout the project lifecycle, helping clients protect design intent, quality and performance as projects move through procurement and delivery. Our architects work collaboratively with project teams to resolve technical challenges and support informed decision-making. We help clients navigate changes, manage risks, and deliver projects that remain true to their vision while meeting technical, regulatory and quality standards.
