Practice Philosophy
The Practice philosophy is that each project is specific to the needs of the Client: we pride ourselves in LISTENING to Clients. Since establishing the Practice, a variety of work has been undertaken, ranging from Sustainable Social Housing, Estate Regenerations, Community Architecture, Private Housing, Flexi Care, Supported Housing and Assisted Independent Living Housing for Older Persons.
We Firmly Believe
We firmly believe that projects benefit from clarity in design and in communicating the design to the people who are going to live and work in the buildings we design and to the stakeholders affected by the process.
This is Achieved
This is achieved by listening to clients and stakeholders, through discussions, workshops and presentations - throughout the whole design and construction process - explaining in layman terms so that all can understand what is being proposed. We work with tenant and client groups to ensure that what we design is what the building users want - if not the case we will always be fighting a battle - this is achieved through careful consideration through:
- Client and stakeholder focus groups to work with us to ensure the buildings and environment end up the way we all want them to.
- Involving existing and potential stakeholders in specification by interrogating choice.
- Working during construction phase to inform and changes if necessary to suit the purpose originally intended.
75% of our current projects include an element of Stakeholder or wider Client group involvement and we believe in working in Partnership with our Clients to the benefit of the Project.
