Disciplines

Architecture, engineering, development and contracting under one roof, so one team answers for the whole building.

Architecture

Quiet form, shaped by light.

We design cultural buildings where the light, the route and the material are decided together.

  • Museums and galleries
  • Libraries and reading rooms
  • Pavilions and gardens
  • Concert and performance halls

Engineering

Walls, roofs and structure that perform.

We engineer thin walls, long spans and calm interiors, and prove them in testing before they are built.

  • Building envelope design
  • Long-span structures
  • Daylight and acoustic analysis
  • Thermal and moisture analysis

Development

Patient capital for places that last.

We develop and fund cultural buildings with foundations and private partners who plan for decades.

  • Cultural districts
  • Museum and gallery campuses
  • Public gardens and pavilions
  • Long-term asset stewardship

Contracting

Built to a fixed price and a clear date.

One team builds what it designs, with a single point of responsibility from site to handover.

  • General contracting
  • Off-site panel fabrication
  • Programme and cost control
  • Aftercare and maintenance

Design Research Studio

A small studio that studies light, form and envelope performance, and shares what it learns with every project.

  • DR-01: Daylight in deep museum plans
  • DR-02: Quiet shells and acoustic comfort in concert halls
  • DR-03: Timber and glass roofs for public libraries
  • DR-04: Planted roofs and stormwater in civic gardens
