Our business is architecture and design, and we approach it with enthusiasm, imagination and professionalism. We take an analytical rather than a stylistic approach, addressing the demands of the client, the user and the physical context. The visual elements grow naturally out of this process, with creativity and imagination being constantly challenged, enhanced and tested by a sense of reality.
As architects we design new buildings, but our perspective often extends to the wider urban framework. We take a strategic approach to design and much of our work concerns initiating change in the way people use public and commercial space so that retail and recreational opportunities can be optimised. In projects such as Leeds Market, London's Borough Market, and Preston Market we can demonstrate how the right strategy can bring new life and profitability to old and neglected markets, and reinvigorate the communities and environment around them.
