01
Workshops and offices
A workshop, a warehouse, an office floor: volumes that follow the process rather than the reverse, and an envelope that keeps the energy bill in hand over time.
Businesses & institutions
Sound applications, deadlines kept.
Workshops, offices, retail, public-access buildings, healthcare sites: we handle access and fire safety from the first sketch, prepare the planning application and follow it through to the decision, then see the works through to handover. Your business keeps running; the project moves alongside it.

Our programmes
Four families of building
A working building is judged on what it lets you do, and on what it costs to run ten years from now. We design around that arithmetic, from the first sketch.
02
Retail and public-access buildings
Receiving the public commits you: access, fire safety, escape routes. Those rules enter the design at sketch stage, where they cost almost nothing.
03
Healthcare and care homes
Hospitals, clinics, care homes: sites in continuous use, where every intervention has to be phased. We work with technical departments over time, not one job at a time.
04
Depots and operational buildings
The buildings nobody shows and everybody uses. They deserve the same attention to ground, water and siting as the rest.
What we handle
- 01Prior declarations and planning applications
- 02Full architectural and works supervision
- 03Fit-out of workshops and public-access buildings
- 04Bringing access and fire safety up to standard
- 05Works on occupied sites, phasing and continuity
- 06Estate master plans and forward studies
Our commitment
Supporting sites that never stop.
A working building is transformed while it is still in use. The project therefore has to be split, announced and sequenced: as much phasing work as design work.
01
Phase before drawing
Which area is freed, when, and for how long. That sequence shapes the project more surely than the brief does.
02
Regulation built into the design
Access, fire safety, fitness for use: worked through item by item at the drawing stage, before the file goes for approval.
03
The site’s memory, project to project
The same contact follows your schemes year after year, and returns to each new project already knowing the access points, services and constraints.
A few views
Programmes drawn for live applications
These are studies and visualisations produced for live applications. They show how a brief becomes volumes, circulation and surroundings.
Therapeutic garden
An outdoor space that counts as care: shade, landmarks, a loop with no dead end.
Healthcare forecourt
The key set on the image: a document that explains itself without a separate note.
First contact
A project for your premises or your site?
A first conversation is enough to frame the need, the phasing and the regulatory calendar before any commitment.
