Practical, cost-effective sustainability
We integrate sustainability from the outset—not as an add-on, but as a key driver of long-term value. By designing smarter, we avoid over-engineering and expensive systems. Instead, we maximise the existing, reduce unnecessary scope, and apply affordable principle.
We use robust cost-planning and program testing to ensure our projects are lower carbon, lower cost, and resilient to future shifts. We challenge conventional expectations around finish levels and scope, celebrating the “as-found” condition and character of a building to create spaces that are distinctive, authentic, and sustainable.
Our award-winning building for Sustainable Ventures at County Hall is an exemplar of our approach - a pioneering retrofit that demonstrates how lean, low-cost, low-carbon design, can be both commercially successful and highly desirable.

A trusted partner for our clients , proven in design and deliverability
We are a lean, experienced team with a proven ability to deliver successful projects from concept to completion. Our compact size allows us to be agile, collaborative, and responsive—adapting our approach to suit each client’s pace and vision.
With a pragmatic, solution-focused mindset, we help navigate complexity, manage risk, and maintain momentum. Our team thrives in high-stakes environments and consistently delivers across a diverse range of sectors and scales.
We remain hands-on throughout all stages, ensuring early design thinking translates into buildable, sustainable, high-quality outcomes. We design for buildability, and our delivery is rooted in the strength of our early-stage concepts.

Unlocking the value of existing buildings
Retrofit isn’t just sustainable—it’s strategic.
Our work proves that with bold intelligent design, even overlooked and underperforming buildings can become vibrant, successful spaces. From listed heritage properties to outdated stock, we deliver retrofit that exceeds expectations in design quality, value and sustainability.
Wherever possible, we prioritise retrofit over demolition, confident that all buildings hold untapped potential. Our approach focuses on re-energising existing fabric to create distinctive, high-performing spaces—minimising embodied carbon while maximising return on investment.
We strip away unnecessary interventions to reduce cost, carbon, and complexity—i embracing the “as-found” character of buildings, and creating spaces that are authentic, efficient, and compelling.

Innovation to drive value
We drive innovation to deliver sustainable, resilient, future-ready developments.
By challenging conventions, embracing bold ideas, and applying emerging technologies and materials, we create lasting value grounded in real-world viability.
We have pioneered the use of regenerative materials like mycelium insulation, cork flooring and agricultural waste boards, alongside reclaimed and up-cycled elements such as remanufactured lighting and salvaged windows.
Our innovative smart building services and refined detailing skills boost energy efficiency, lowering consumption over the building’s lifespan. Circular design strategies—designing for disassembly, reuse, and adaptability, extend the life and value of every project.
