COMMUNITY

We take great pride in partnering with community providers to create spaces for living, studying, working, and gathering, tailored for large community groups. As architects in this sector, our technical experts ensure best practice design compliance, delivering solutions for people with special physical requirements. We are particularly passionate about upgrading and repurposing existing buildings to meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve.

We are working with the University on a 3 year programme of refurbishment and compliance upgrades for their halls of residence to address items ranging from fire compliance, bathroom replacements & recarpeting, through to re-theming the halls. As there is a large volume of work to be carried out over the University summer break, considerable effort is put into simplifying the construction detailing to improve the efficiency of the contractors when they are on site.
