We believe being entrusted with the task of designing an enduring structure is a great privilege and responsibility. Beyond fulfilling their function buildings should enrich peoples everyday life, promote a sense of wellbeing and engage with our culture. This belief has led to the pursuit in our work of what we call ‘an architecture of gathering’ – that is an architecture focused on relationships and associations whether it be between buildings and their sites, people and nature, the past and present, with the ambition of creating places that resonate – that ‘feel right.’ Such architecture is not only functional but has a timeless warmth and richness, simplicity and humility. It is a tailored response to each client and site and not just a style. It is as much about the making of landscapes and gardens as it is about enclosures – of private and public worlds.

Sustainability is a core concern that we address at all scales and phases from the initial site planning to the consideration of material selections and additional mechanical services. We look to the holistic integration of passive design principles into the spatial and material logic of our designs.
