Collaboration

We see each project as a close creative collaboration between our clients, the design team, specialist advisors and stakeholders in the project. As experienced design team leaders, we develop clear responsibilities, policies and reporting structures to ensure that everyone is kept fully informed at every stage of the process, and that quality and cost are strictly controlled.

This ensures the client maintains complete control of the project while the design team is given clear direction and can contribute to the design process.

Communication

We put the dialogue with clients, users and stakeholders at the heart of the design process. We always take time to thoroughly analyse and explore your brief, challenging assumptions and preconceptions. Our lateral thinking ensures the final design strategy is one that delivers the maximum potential from each site, and a design that is practical, flexible and open to the future.

Our creativity lies in our ability to think, develop and visualise ideas in three dimensions. Ideas start life in sketches but to physically capture the experience of a space we work with models – sometimes life-size details – to ensure a cohesive and coordinated design that helps clients, users and stakeholders fully understand the final space. This hands-on creative approach is backed by sophisticated software to generate detailed drawings, sections and perspectives. And drawing on our cultural roots, our collaborations with artists continue to inspire us.
