As architects, landscape architects and urban designers, we create award winning buildings, living landscapes and thriving urban spaces, using inventive design to solve real life challenges. Each of our projects is different but the driving force behind every one is the desire to create an environment that is inherently beautiful and functional. Every one of our projects starts with the people we’re designing for. We work side-by-side with communities and clients, to find out what they want, what they know, and what they need. We really believe that good design can transform lives – helping people to live more comfortably, neighbourhoods to thrive and businesses to grow. It’s why we put people at the heart of everything we do. Our long tradition of research and advocacy also means that we encourage others to follow our lead in creating better spaces, in particular when it comes to the critical issues of design standards and sustainability. From our design studios in London and Manchester, we work on housing, education, health, arts and commercial projects of all shapes and sizes across the country.
