Approach

The three elements of our brand – Studio, Thrive and Works – are used to guide and inform the holistic approach of our teams to every project. These elements are applied collectively or independently as appropriate, bringing different layers of knowledge and expertise to projects.

Studio puts the human nature, imagination, and instinct into our designs, Thrive ensures that our designs are ethical, environmental and healthy, and Works turns our designs into exemplars of construction and technological performance.

We’re always looking at new, better and original ways to do things: in our ideas; in our processes; in the materials we use; in the levels of wellbeing we can achieve.

Our project teams are supported by our specialist creative, environmental and tech teams to develop the full potential of each brief through a process of enquiry, questioning and analysis.

Techniques and breakthroughs in one area can often spark new initiatives and directions in another. While there’s a common thread and forward-looking mindset evident throughout the organisation, we’re constantly learning from each other and pushing each other forward.
