Commercial
We believe commercial architecture should do more than meet a brief - it should enrich places, support people, and stand the test of time. Our approach spans the conservation, workplace, science, and retail sectors, drawing on over 80 years of experience to deliver sustainable, high-performing buildings in complex and sensitive contexts.
Whether we are restoring an iconic landmark, creating a cutting-edge laboratory, or designing a workplace within a heritage setting, we bring deep technical knowledge and a collaborative, people-first mindset to every project. We design with purpose, placing environmental and social responsibility at the core of everything we do.
Renewing heritage assets
At the heart of our practice is bringing life to heritage assets through considered, research-led conservation. We work to transform historically significant sites into vibrant, multi-use destinations—carefully integrating new functions within existing fabric to preserve character while ensuring long-term viability.
Battersea Power Station
Diverse workspaces
We understand that environments for work must be flexible, engaging, and resilient. Our approach focuses on delivering high-quality, behind-the-scenes facilities that support staff and operational needs while respecting the historic and cultural context. We craft practical, people-centred spaces that function seamlessly within sensitive settings.

Context-led commercial spaces
We place identity and context at the heart of every design decision.
