WHY ARE WE DOING THIS

We are a team of built environment professionals including: architects, structural engineers, planning consultants, quantity surveyors, project managers and sustainability consultants.

We believe in the power of good design and that great spaces can facilitate great communities. We see this in our projects and many other great spaces across the UK. We have often provided pro-bono work for organisations that don’t have the resources or need some initial help to access funding. However, this frequently comes through our contacts and we want to make this more equitable and available to everyone.
