Services
Residential Architecture
We create innovative residential solutions ranging from single private homes to large-scale housing developments. Our approach combines contextual sensitivity with modern design principles to deliver high-quality living spaces that meet contemporary needs while respecting local character. With over 1,000 homes delivered across London, our expertise spans diverse site conditions and housing typologies. Our projects consistently achieve recognition for design excellence and sustainability standards.
Urban Regeneration
Specialising in complex urban sites, we develop regeneration schemes that transform underutilised spaces into vibrant communities. Our work includes masterplanning for estates like Gascoigne East and creating mixed-use developments that integrate housing, commercial spaces, and community facilities. We collaborate with local authorities and housing associations to deliver sustainable regeneration that addresses housing shortages while enhancing urban environments through award-winning design solutions.
Sustainable Design
As climate action leaders, we embed sustainability throughout our design process. Our projects achieve high environmental standards through passive design strategies, low-carbon materials, and energy-efficient systems. We actively participate in the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge and helped deliver London's first net-zero carbon housing scheme. Our sustainable approach balances ecological responsibility with practical functionality and long-term value for residents.
Mixed-Use Developments
We design integrated developments that combine residential, commercial, and community spaces to create dynamic urban environments. Our schemes like Fish Island Village demonstrate expertise in creating cohesive masterplans that deliver multiple benefits including housing diversity, local employment opportunities, and public realm improvements. We ensure each element complements the others while maintaining architectural coherence across different building types and uses.
Private Residences
Our bespoke residential projects transform challenging sites into exceptional living spaces. From compact urban infill houses like Gap House to contemporary mews properties, we create tailored solutions that maximise space while maintaining strong architectural identity. We work closely with private clients to deliver unique homes that combine modern functionality with contextual sensitivity, often achieving planning approval in demanding locations through innovative design approaches.
