Services
Housing Regeneration
We specialise in transforming underutilised urban areas through comprehensive regeneration strategies. Our approach combines social housing provision with mixed-use developments to create vibrant, sustainable communities. Projects like Gascoigne East Estate demonstrate our ability to deliver large-scale, net-zero carbon housing schemes while preserving local character. Our expertise extends to navigating complex planning processes and stakeholder engagement.
Sustainable Architecture
Our practice leads in environmentally conscious architecture, integrating passive design principles and low-carbon materials. We exceed standard sustainability requirements through innovations like the Miyawaki Method for urban reforestation and advanced thermal performance in residential buildings. Our commitment to the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge ensures measurable environmental improvements in every project.
Private Residences
We create bespoke residential solutions that balance modern living requirements with contextual sensitivity. From compact urban infill projects like Gap House to luxury mews developments, our designs maximise spatial efficiency while maintaining architectural integrity. Our process involves close collaboration with homeowners to achieve unique, high-performance living spaces.
Mixed-Use Developments
We design multifunctional spaces that combine residential, commercial, and community elements within cohesive masterplans. Our Fish Island Village project demonstrates expertise in creating interconnected urban environments that foster economic activity and social interaction. We prioritise flexible design solutions that adapt to evolving urban needs.
Urban Design
Our urban design expertise addresses complex city challenges through holistic masterplanning. We specialise in rail-side development opportunities and infill projects that increase housing density without compromising quality of life. Our work on the Dagenham Green masterplan illustrates our ability to integrate sustainable transport, green spaces, and mixed-income housing in cohesive urban frameworks.
