Ask the right questions
Led by curiosity, we align what we see with what we know, mapping the context, distilling the brief and uncovering the inherent potential of both.
Fan the Spark
We set the direction for the project, consulting our references, developing a strategy and beginning to imagine a physical form to test against the brief.
Façade studies
King’s Cross W3
Uncover the finer grain
With our collaborators we develop and refine the idea, exploring the haptic qualities of the project, and the specifics of look, feel and build.
Material refinement
Orkesterplassen
Match technique and idea
As construction begins, we stay with the project, working with its makers to make sure our design, social and environmental intent is understood and retained.
On-site construction of the front façade
Rosemoor Studios
Complete the circle
All buildings have a life far beyond completion, and we chart the impression our work leaves on environment, place and people for reference in future projects.
