That which does not kill us makes us stronger
Our Story
Social purpose is a driving factor behind all that we do, Our goal is to enrich lives through the built environment.
We endeavour to create places of education that inspire; homes that become a part of a thriving community, and infrastructure that is sustainable, in terms of both longevity and environmental factors. Social purpose is a driving factor behind all that we do, and everything we design has this in mind.
We are a fast-growing multi-disciplinary chartered RIBA & ARB architectural practice, based in the West Midlands. We have a varied team with over 20 years of experience across fields, and our team is made up of architects, project managers, structural and civil engineers, quantity surveyors and contractors.
Our multidisciplinary approach and varied team allow you to access all of the services you need under one roof, leading to better project management, better understanding, and better delivery of projects, all the way through from inception to completion.
Every Project Starts with a Conversation
Good designs come from good design team co-ordination. We love talking to our clients about their design ambitions. This helps us to understand the full story behind the design, and also helps us to uncover any hidden challenges which we can factor in and address early in the design and build process. We augment this approach with digital engagement techniques to help define the needs of building users. Doing this ensures that the final design can evolve in a sustainable way that supports health, happiness and wellbeing.
Our Design Process
Measured Surveys
We undertake measured surveys of existing buildings to enable the production of existing drawings.
architecture
We complete site analysis/ feasibility work to understand the site constraints. We also create proposed drawings, and work with you to produce a suitable design.
Interior Design
We can help make your new extension to your house feel like a home. With 3D modelling, we are able to show you what it will look like before you move forward.
Multi-Disciplinary Service
Our in-house team of consultants can aid throughout the project. Our structural engineers, civil engineers and quantity surveyors can ensure that your project is fully co-ordinated with the architectural works.
Project Management
We can manage your project for you and ensure they construction team are well coordinated to ensure a smooth running project.
Planning & Building Regulation Compliance
We liaise with planning and building regulation departments throughout the project to ensure that your projects are approved/ compliant.

The true reward is knowing that what we do makes people healthier, happier and more fulfilled in their space
We encourage all of our staff to contribute creative ideas as we explore the design themes of each project. These design forums and reviews help us to explore all angles for the project, and they enable us to curate the best ideas, ensuring focus on key design objectives is maintained. This process results in a diverse portfolio of thoughtfully designed places that exude confidence and purpose.
Design Thinking
The magic is in the details
It’s our mission to understand our clients’ needs inside and out, and then surpass their expectations. This means going beyond the brief to innovate and consider the emotional response that the built environment evokes.
We strive to create buildings that respond to contest and climate, as well as client budgets. By focusing on using opportunity to our advantage, we create memorable spaces that leave a lasting positive impact on the people who use them. We pride ourselves on being a forward-thinking practice and we always have the end-user in mind at the forefront of our design process.
We’re design-driven, focusing on creating spaces that are exciting, innovative and meaningful. The magic is in the details, and that’s why we carefully design each and every element.
Along with this, our deep understanding of BIM protocols means we can create both 2D and 3D visuals of projects, allowing for a more effective integrated design.
