Our buildings aim to delight both client and users and respect and enhance the surrounding landscape or urban environment. We specialise in projects on contentious sites. This can involve delicate planning negotiations and high quality design to achieve consent. Our buildings do not have a recognisable 'signature', although they do share spatial, formal and technical themes. Many of our projects demonstrate our interest in historical precedents and share an innovative approach to structure and the use of materials.

Our portfolio spans early social housing schemes in Milton Keynes and several education projects at Oxford and Cambridge universities through to more recent work including the training centre for Cable and Wireless in Coventry, the Wellcome Wing of the London Science Museum, the Ruskin Museum at the University of Lancaster and Southwark underground station for the Jubilee Line.

Today the office is working on a host of diverse projects including Kendrew Quadrangle for St Johns College, Oxford; new staff accommodation and staff facilities for the British Embassy in Bangkok; a new FE College in Harrow, masterplans for the Universities of Warwick, Birmingham and UCL, and a whole range of housing developments.
