Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to the commercial, hospitality and travel, and residential sectors. From Principal Designer services to masterplanning, our team is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that meet the unique specifications of each project.
Commercial
Our architectural approach is informed by a deep understanding of how individuals perceive and engage with their surroundings. By prioritising thoughtful design and the manipulation of light, airflow, and shape, we develop spaces that are not only functional and practical but also visually pleasing.
Residential
We handle a diverse array of residential projects. Whether it's striking extensions, stunning new homes, or extensive residential developments, our goal for every project is to craft a distinctive design that blends aesthetics, functionality, budget, and sustainability.
Masterplanning
In our masterplanning process, we assess and visualise by considering social, environmental, political, economic, and functional factors. Whether focusing on the personal scale of a residential street or the broader design of large urban regeneration and mixed-use projects, we pay close attention to detail to ensure the masterplan embodies the vision and presents it in an engaging and appropriate manner.
Principal Designer
The role of Principal Designer for Building Regulations (PDBR) is distinct from CDM and is essential in ensuring compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022. Our Principal Designer (PDBR) team focuses on effective coordination between designers and contractors, while supporting clients in fulfilling their legal responsibilities. Our expertise provides clear communication of safety-critical design information, helping clients navigate these new legal duties with clarity and confidence.

Principal Designer
Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (CDM)
Our role as CDM Principal Designer is pivotal in ensuring health and safety is prioritised throughout both the pre-construction and construction phases. Our experienced team identifies and manages design-related risks from the very start of each project, coordinating essential health and safety information with all stakeholders involved. We support our clients in fulfilling their legal obligations and collaborate closely with the Principal Contractor to effectively manage ongoing risks during construction. By delivering these services in conjunction with our roles as Architect and Lead Consultant, we provide a seamless, integrated approach, led by our experienced partners.
