Civic, Community + Arts

With studios that have grown around our own communities, we're personally invested in the work we do. The benefits of local understanding and local delivery are supported by a real strength in sector and service knowledge and expertise. Our experience across our civic and community work includes projects ranging in scale and complexity, from small art shed’s for private collections to multi-purpose community and visitor centres.

Bringing communities along the design journey means we consider the collective impact, both on the people who use the spaces we design and those in surrounding communities. 

Our work can have a transformational impact and so we work hard to provide value and build trust through a considered and collaborative way of working. 

A consultative approach 
By immersing ourselves in the detail, we make sure the opportunities and constraints of each project are understood. 

Navigating the complexities of grant funding 
Complex funding packages need careful delivery. We work with our clients to ensure that funders’ requirements are realised. We ensure targets are met and milestones reached.

Committed to supporting third sector clients 
Our understanding of the environment in which charities and voluntary organisations work means we can navigate the challenges of capital works delivery. This commitment is rooted in a fundamental belief that we need to invest in our communities.
