We aim to create an architecture of local adaptation; to climate,
environment and culture.

Our approach is to attempt to avoid falling into preconceived solutions to design problems through a process of detailed analysis of site and brief prior to any design phase, and have experience in many sectors and at all scales - from master planning to product design. Working with an extensive range of consultants, teaching, and collaborations with architects, craftsmen and artists, all enrich the outlook of the studio.

In collaboration with Urban Future Organisation.

200,000 sq ft of offices, laboratories and a training centre form the new extended campus to an existing Richard Rogers designed facility. A single naturally ventilated floor-plate of 200 x 200m is proposed and perforated by a grid of twenty-courtyard garden. These garden spaces define the working environments and create specific microclimates next to offices for workers to use. The contoured landscape is excavated from the existing chalk ground to form local access to car parking below, without the need for retaining walls.
