Our Services
Architectural & Project Management
We deliver design-led, innovative buildings across sectors from sports and education to retail and healthcare, using a consultative model that aligns creativity with client goals.
Interior Design
Our Interior Design team combines creativity, functionality, and attention to detail to craft inspiring spaces tailored to the unique identity and needs of each client. From concept to completion, we create interiors that are both practical and expressive, enhancing user experience, reinforcing brand identity, and adding long-term value to every project.
Sustainable & High Performance Design
As Passive House Premium pioneers (e.g., Erne Campus) and ISO 14001-certified practitioners, we focus on carbon-zero, BREEAM-aligned buildings that balance environmental stewardship and wellbeing.
Design Quality Indicator (DQI)
The DQI methodology empowers a comprehensive assessment of design quality at every stage of the construction process, spanning inception to post-occupancy analysis. Additionally, it serves as a valuable contributor to enhancing your building’s BREEAM rating. Our in-house DQI Facilitator is adept at providing a standalone service to other design and construction teams, ensuring that the principles of design quality are seamlessly integrated into diverse projects
BIM & Digital Delivery
Using advanced BIM workflows and 3D visualisation, we add clarity at every stage, from concept design through construction boosting coordination, cost control, and buildability.
Principal Design & H&S Leadership
As Principal Designers under CDM 2015, we integrate health, safety, and regulatory compliance into design processes, maintaining OHSAS 18001 / ISO standards to protect people and assets throughout the build-life cycle.
