Our Approach


We use a simple but effective philosophy and methodology across all of our projects. This enables us to deliver design-led innovation we can measure.

We believe the best innovation happens at the intersection between people, place, and purpose.

People

We believe public spaces should be for people. We work with key stakeholders and engage them throughout the research, design and delivery process to ensure our visions have public buy-in and are rooted in local culture and relevant to local people.

Place

We ensure ideas are rooted in the history and heritage of the place. This includes understanding how concepts and strategies work in harmony with other initiatives, sites and constraints.

Purpose

We deliver projects with public value. Everything we do is rooted in social impact to create better places for people.

We use the established double-diamond design methodology across all of our projects. This approach to innovation was first coined by the UK Design Council in 2005
