Our studioSERVICES
Concept + Planning Design
Our concept and planning design services are context-driven and put people at the heart of our approach. Our architects, urban designers, and sustainability specialists explore the potential of every concept design by rigorously testing it against a site’s opportunities, constraints, and planning requirements. Through sketching, digital and live modelling we challenge building form, layout, capacity and aesthetics to maximise a project’s benefits and deliver successful planning outcomes.

Urban Design + Masterplanning
We provide comprehensive urban design and masterplanning services that help create more successful places. We excel in leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver authority-led design codes, urban design spatial strategies and development frameworks. Our teams also deliver innovative planning-led projects ranging from large suburban extensions and garden village proposals to estate renewal and urban intensification schemes.

Technical Design
Our large team of architects and technologists specialise in delivering high-quality projects through the post-planning design stages for our developer and contractor clients. Our well-considered technical designs perfectly balance key project deliverables such as material performance, sustainability, building safety, design quality and efficiency, whole-life costs, and longevity. We create viable, well co-ordinated and beautifully constructed buildings that stand the test of time.
