‘Place-making and architecture are about designing for life - messy, complex and connected realities. We approach design with a sense of excitement about what is possible.’
Soham De

‘Informed by the brief and by financial realities, appropriate solutions deliver quality, are site specific; and make best use of scarce resources.'
Meet the Team
We are an emerging design practice with foundations that rest on a breadth of industry experience at the intersection of urban design, architecture and the social sciences. As working partners, we seek out organisations that are committed to driving meaningful change for better collective futures. We develop and promote a joined-up approach to design; in particular through developing a common language for coordinating the aspirations of clients, stakeholders and diverse professional disciplines, and for involving local knowledge in design.
