For nearly four decades we have grown and nurtured our team to become a UK top architectural practice listed in the AJ100.

Quite simply, our aim is to be “great to work with and great to work for”.

This is not a piece of idle marketing fluff, but a living, breathing mantra that we actually use to evaluate decisions, drive conversations and measure outputs against. It is our mission.

We are proud of our culture of collaboration and open communication, encouraging experimentation and constructive criticism to ensure our design approach remains fresh and relevant. We value open expression and discussion, encouraging critical thinking at all stages of the design process. Collectively we are committed to continually improving the way we work.

We’re passionate about the built environment and aspire to deliver great buildings and spaces for our clients and end users that make a lasting, sustainable, positive impact.

Our award-winning portfolio covers all sectors of the industry and includes new build, refurbishment and conversion projects. We have an established reputation for delivering successful commercial solutions on challenging urban brownfield and historically sensitive sites.

Having built a diverse range of long-standing client relationships, we leverage our building knowledge across the industry to share our experience and enrich those relationships.

We respond locally, regionally and nationally, but think globally.

Aside from our core design services of architecture, interior and landscape design, we offer a complementary range of ‘one stop shop’ supporting services, aligned to the commercial property sector: Masterplanning & Urban Design, BIM Management, Principal Designer, Inclusive Design Consultancy, Workplace Analysis & Design, Space Planning, Branding & Identity and FFE.

Great outcomes require great management and great delivery. Our structured approach and Level 2 BIM capability ensures that we work effectively and efficiently with contractors and consultants, and we pride ourselves in minimising risk and maximising value.

Our outputs and illustrative material are tailored to the project and we utilise various mediums to best promote our client's vision. These include: hand sketching, photo-real renders, 3D printed models, AR experiences, free roaming walkthroughs and multi-user client reviews in VR.

We know that it’s the people who really make our company great to work with. We are invested in being great to work for and encourage and support all of our team to develop their skills to their fullest potential.

We tailor our teams to provide the right mix of expertise for each project and combine this with a heartfelt passion for achieving great things with the built environment. Whether it’s architecture, interior, landscape design or any of our complementary services, teamwork is at the core of what we do and how we do it.

The practice has an international and UK client base with services delivered by 73 staff from offices in Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Birmingham and London.
