Culture + Community

We design buildings that have a positive impact on the communities in which they reside.

We understand that projects are only successful if they involve everyone who has a stake in them: the everyday user, the visitor, the owner. So we engage everyone, listening to their thoughts and ideas and getting under the skin of projects, making them work from the inside out so they enhance the lives of those who use them.

Projects include a new theatre and performing arts centre at Redbridge College, a feasibility study for Brookvale Village Hall in Basingstoke, the Carroll Centre in Winchester, and more recently The Point youth centre in Tadley. At The Point, we worked in collaboration with local young people, challenging them to come up with fresh ideas and interpreting them to create a sculptural building that houses everything they need, and is a place they can truly call their own. The project was awarded the RIBA Journal MacEwen Award.
