Workshop
We have invested in a new workshop as the making of models and prototypes is an integral part of our design process. We believe that these are the most direct means of exploring spatial, structural and formal issues.
Our model makers combine traditional ways of making models by hand with the latest technologies such as 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining.
Graphics
We have an in-house graphics team who support our architectural teams to produce reports, submissions, presentation and exhibition material for each project.
The graphics team design, lay out and produce all printed material for the practice, as well as developing branding, signage, wayfinding and colour palettes for built works.
Projects
Significant projects include the refurbishment of the Royal Festival Hall' and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Kings Cross Central and the Legacy Masterplan for London 2012.
