Our Services

Comprehensive architectural solutions for the public sector

We offer a full range of architectural services tailored to the specific requirements of government and institutional clients. Each engagement is structured to align with public procurement standards while delivering exceptional design outcomes.

Democratic Spaces

Council Chambers and Civic Halls

The spaces where local democracy happens deserve careful attention. We design council chambers that facilitate effective debate while welcoming public participation. Our civic halls serve multiple functions, from formal council meetings to community events, adapting to changing needs over decades of use.

Recent projects include chambers for county councils, unitary authorities, and combined mayoral authorities, each designed to reflect the character of their community.

Justice

Courts and Tribunals

Justice architecture must balance dignity with practicality, security with accessibility. We have extensive experience renovating listed court buildings while meeting HM Courts and Tribunals Service standards, as well as designing new tribunal facilities.

Our courthouse work addresses complex circulation requirements, keeping different user groups appropriately separated while maintaining efficient operation. We understand the acoustic, security, and technological demands of modern judicial proceedings.

Administration

Government Office Buildings

Administrative buildings house the day-to-day work of public service. We design offices that support collaboration, concentration, and wellbeing, while presenting a welcoming face to citizens seeking services.

Our designs accommodate changing work patterns, including hot-desking, agile working, and hybrid arrangements, while ensuring buildings remain functional and dignified for decades.

Heritage

Listed Building Conservation

Many government buildings occupy structures of historic significance. We bring specialist expertise in conservation architecture, working sensitively with Grade I and Grade II listed buildings to preserve their character while enabling modern use.

Our conservation team includes accredited specialists who understand the planning and regulatory context for works to protected buildings.

Community

Public Service Hubs

The trend toward co-located services brings together multiple agencies under one roof. We design flexible facilities that accommodate libraries, job centres, council services, NHS facilities, and community spaces in configurations that serve citizens efficiently.

These buildings must work for diverse users with different needs, from job seekers to elderly residents to families with young children. Universal design principles guide every decision.

Advisory

Feasibility Studies and Strategic Advice

Before committing to construction, many clients need help understanding their options. We provide independent feasibility studies, option appraisals, and strategic estate planning to inform decision-making.

This advisory work helps clients secure funding approval, satisfy governance requirements, and build the business case for capital investment.
