Our residential design philosophy

At the heart of our philosophy is the creation of places that we’d be proud to call home, as distinctive, diverse and unique as the communities we serve. 

Our team combines a breadth of knowledge across the residential sector, be it new build, adaptive re-use, modular, high-rise, built-to-rent or purpose-built student accommodation through to masterplanning new communities.

From a team with over 100 years of combined experience in designing and delivering residential projects, we shape our project teams to align with our clients needs and aspirations.

For our clients that means assurance from years of experience coupled with the latest in design thinking to shape a solution that seeks to exceed expectations.

Design through a commercial lens

We pride ourselves on the commerciality of our designs which seek to push the art of the possible within the realities of budget and timelines. 

Realising profitable design concepts, fostering positive engagement with planning and delivering live projects on time and on budget form the foundations of our residential designs.

Our team also help clients improve the commercial viability of their existing design proposals by way of independent peer reviews, post planning analysis and optimisation exercises.

By committing time upfront to listen, pushing the art of thoughtful design and keeping to our word through honest and transparent communication, we add tangible value to projects.

Student Living

Creating places which inspire community is at the core of our student living designs. Each project is approached through the lens of placemaking, to provide enriching environments where students can live, study, rest and play and most importantly, feel at home. 

PBSA is a fast-moving market, particularly with the advancement of wellness and technology. With that comes increased competition for residents. Designing around the student experience and with future flexibility in mind is critical. This is why our developments and University client relationships continue to stand the test of time.

Private residential

Sustainable, functional and beautiful living spaces is what defines our design approach for private homes. With extensive experience across both new build, adaptive re-use and the conservation of heritage properties, every project respects its unique context and the particular tastes and needs of its residents.
