Public Building Architects

Our public buildings need to respond to their users’ needs, now and as they evolve in the future. How we design the spaces people see, navigate and experience is critical to their enjoyment.

Our role as architects is to design accessible buildings that enhance the lives and wellbeing of the users. Places should be legible, allowing for ease of circulation through the building while engaging all the senses. Materials, colour, light, sound and planting all provide drama that can positively enhance our community and leisure spaces.

Working together to serve the community

The most successful designs are produced through a collaborative process. We work closely with local authorities, charities, businesses and communities to produce carefully considered design solutions.

Theatres, art centres, sport facilities, swimming pools and village halls are examples of our areas of expertise.

We have distilled our experience of working with public buildings down to two principal categories, find out more below:
