Services
Architecture
Our approach to each project stems from an understanding of our client’s values, vision and culture and the careful evaluation of context and opportunities. Our goal is to propose how these factors can be translated into architecture that is intelligent, resilient, healthy and enjoyable.
Our designs are driven by the imperative to reduce energy consumption and to have a positive environmental effect. Our flexible studio teams work in an atmosphere that encourages debate and peer review so we can continually evolve and refine our design ideas and offer creative solutions that are balanced with technical integrity.
We are proud of the collaborative and approachable relationship we have with our clients and we use a range of techniques to communicate with them.
Building surveying
The built environment is never static, constantly changing by growth, ageing, usage, legislation and the requirements for upgrading. Our Building Surveyors' extensive experience enables them to offer all the necessary expertise to meet the changing demands clients have managing their estate portfolio.

- Building design
- Refurbishment

- Renovation
- Surveys for lease condition
- Dilapidations
- Party wall matters

Interior Design
Interior design is a crucial element of successful architecture. Our interiors department focuses on internal, and sometimes external, spaces tailoring their functionality for their specific users.
We have the flexibility to offer an interior design service working alongside our architecture and building surveying teams or as an individual interiors-only appointment.
Our interiors department has wide ranging design experience and knowledge of all sectors, enabling us to deliver bespoke designs to our clients; designs that provide the best useable space, finish, furniture and colour scheme for their needs and budget.
CDM Co-ordination
Our experienced CDM Co-ordinators are fully qualified to advise and assist clients to meet their duties under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007 either as part of a full consultancy package in addition to our other services, or as a stand alone role.
All our CDM Co-ordinators work proactively with designers to eliminate safety hazards through design reviews as the design develops. We make all necessary notifications and collect and issue relevant information to those who need it, check the competence of those appointed and check the Principal Contractor's arrangements for Health and Safety. On completion of the works, we compile and deliver a Health and Safety File to help ensure the future safety of persons working in the property.
All our CDM Co-ordinators are registered members of the Association for Project Safety.
