About
We create equitable places through incisive research and impactful projects. We work exclusively for the public sector and charities and are committed to delivering public good.
Approach and Values
We are a collaborative, integrated team with a wide range of skills. Together, we have defined our practice values, which inform both our approach to projects and our studio culture:
Curious and Open: We are keen to learn from the places where we work and the communities we work with. We welcome a diversity of voices both within our team and across the stakeholders and colleagues we engage with on our projects.
Bold and Ambitious: We strive for influence and impact. We do not shy away from challenge in the pursuit of public good. We aim for excellence at every level.
Accessible and Responsive: Clear, inclusive communication is critical to our work. We are particularly committed to involving and designing for groups who are typically under-represented. Our work is genuinely shaped by the feedback we receive.
Considered and Precise: Our work is careful and accurate. Our research skills bring rigour to the portfolio of the practice.
Independent and Insightful: We bring valuable expertise to specialist subjects and appreciate our independent position. We are often ‘intermediaries’ between different stakeholder groups, which allows us to steward ambitious project outcomes in complex scenarios.
