About the practice

We are a creative, international design studio experienced in making buildings and places where people do better. We use this experience to question traditional typologies, challenging what a particular building might look like, how it might be used, and the ways it can impact society. We are recognised for our work in architectural design and placemaking. Our live portfolio of work is diverse in scale, complex in uses, and varied in context. Our buildings and places are imaginative, exciting and firmly rooted in their locale, inspiring those who encounter them to live well and do better. Our talented studio teams provide us with the flexibility and balance to react to the needs of our clients internationally. Our long-established ‘one studio culture’ is fundamental to our ability to operate as a connected entity through effective communication and knowledge sharing. A cosmopolitan mix of individuals from around the world provides us with a diverse range of expertise. Knowledge of many building types and geographical locations allows us to devise sustainable, fully integrated design solutions that are uplifting in use and effective to operate. We spend time carefully weighing pragmatic considerations with ambition and re-interpretation, creating designs with integrity and commercial clarity.
