We provide an integrated service offer to help realise the potential of all our projects. This benefits our clients, building users and the environment – both now and long into the future.

We value the positive impact that the built environment can have on society, regardless of how people interact with it. We therefore adopt a holistic approach to architecture, which sees our large team of architects design vibrant places for people to live, work and socialise in. Our Architects and designers work across our specialist sectors and on new build restoration, refurbishment and hybrid solutions. Building design is often undertaken in close collaboration with experts in our BIM, Heritage, Interior Design, Masterplanning, Sustainability and Retrofit teams to address opportunities and constraints relating to heritage assts sustainability aspirations and similar.

Our Building Information Modelling (BIM) Team provide our architectural and design teams with the training, tools and processes needed to optimise design delivery. This support ranges from coordination management and model quality improvements to the creation of project documentation. These documents can span from BIM Execution Plans to Responsibilities Matrices. The team also offers bespoke BIM training and consultancy services to our clients, either as an integrated service or as a standalone commission.

We understand the importance of conserving historical and listed buildings and the sensitivities of working in conservation areas. Our dedicated architectural heritage team allows us to offer expert opinion on projects that include or affect heritage assets and historical buildings. Our team's experience includes working on listed building applications, applications in conservation areas, impact assessments, quinquennial surveys, specialist fabric repairs and assisting with Heritage Lottery Funding.

We understand that buildings increasingly need to work harder and offer more for both owners and occupants. By employing the skills of our Interior Design Team, we can help drive innovation and efficiencies through high-quality interior design. They provide space planning, concept design, interior design and workplace consultancy services across our specialist sectors. The inhouse Interior Design Team can offer an integrated service alongside our architectural teams or as a standalone service.

We recognise that successful masterplans involve understanding the physical, economic and strategic constraints and opportunities of a site. Our Masterplanners are experts at this and are skilled in translating this into masterplans which create the greatest value for local communities and our clients. We maintain a long-term view on solutions and focus on feasibility and deliverability. Our experience covers our industrial, residential, offices, retail & leisure and community & culture sectors as well as hybrid, mixed-use solutions. It also includes the development of design guides.

We're mindful that most structures that will be here in 2050 have already been built. That's why retrofit is an essential part of sustainable urban development and why we've created a dedicated team of retrofit specialists. We stand at the forefront of this growing specialism, working with registered providers, landlords and local authorities. We improve residential buildings and give commercial properties a second life, whether that means transforming outdated houses into net zero carbon homes, replacing external cladding on high rise blocks or repurposing landmarks for new users. As of 2023, we are TrustMark registered business for Retrofit Coordinator services.

We recognise the climate emergency is one of the biggest challenges facing our industry. We're committed to tackling this and employ a team of inhouse sustainability experts to help us develop high-performance concepts and sustainable solution. These include Passivhaus, net zero carbon and BREEAM Excellent schemes. Conducting energy and comfort analysis, we develop high-performance concepts and sustainable solutions based on a data-led approach. With an integrated team available from day one, we support our clients to maximise project sustainability at the optimum time - RIBA Stages 0-2. This early engagement ensures cost effective, best practice performance. Our sustainability team includes Passivhaus designers, BREEAM Assessors and Retrofit Coordinators.
