Richard Voss
Architecture Drawing

From early research and feasibility studies through to delivery and seeing how spaces perform after people move in, we tailor our approach to what each project needs and local market conditions.

Great design happens when engaged teams work together well for a shared purpose.

03.

Architecture must be aspirational because the cities that draw people in will adapt to the changes and challenges ahead.

02.

Our cities are the ecosystems which allow businesses to flourish. They must allow for diversity - for innovation, for recreation and for connection.

01.

For us Architecture and design must be about storytelling. The appeal of storytelling is universal - it forges a dialogue between people, communities and the environment over time.

How We Work

We believe passionately that architectural practice must allow for the apprenticeship model.

Our senior collaborators have taught at various universities globally, in business schools, engineering faculties, and architectural design units.

Risk management is a huge aspect of any business or operation, we pride ourselves in our proactive approach to quality assurance and its de-risking benefits. 

Research-based design

Research is integral to our client's needs. We research exemplars that have previously been successful in international markets and adapt them to meet local needs
