We design very different buildings, for very different people to use in very different ways and, since our early days in the late 1980s, we have grown from four to over one hundred people and our budgets from a few thousand to tens of millions of pounds.
The last few years have been particularly important for the practice; we were shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2009 Kentish Town Health Centre and in 2008 for Westminster Academy. We were also named Building Magazine's Architectural Practice of the Year 2009 and Building Design Magazine's Architect of the Year 2008.
Through our wide range of projects we search for the opportunities in every site, budget and programme and pursue a pragmatic, analytical and collaborative working method to produce a responsive, intelligent and delightful architecture. This clarity facilitates discussion of our approach between all parties: clients, architects, collaborators, constructors and users.
