Design & Engineering

The partnerships we forge with our clients are built on one universal shared understanding - that the positive impact of good design cannot be underestimated. 

Our architects, designers and urbanists work across a global network of studios, creating outstanding places and spaces that respond to the needs and resources of a contemporary world. 

Driven by a design philosophy which considers the context and climate of a project at all times, we help our customers to realize their goals while also being responsible to society and the environment.

The successes we deliver are built on a truly collaborative relationship with our clients and belief in the power of collective thinking. We draw on a global network of like-minded, visionary architects, design studios, multidisciplinary in-house teams and trusted partners.

Together, we combine local community knowledge with cutting-edge technology to deliver integrated and inspiring environments, from small interior design commissions through to city masterplans and large-scale building projects.

The future of sustainable design lies in an approach that priorities the health and wellbeing of individuals and, ultimately, society.

Human-centered design uses an interactive web-based survey to engage with a broad range of building users and commissioning teams to establish their specific priorities relating to end-user wellbeing.

The data forms a set of indicators which are used by our design teams to make informed and timely decisions that promote and embody the values of health and wellbeing. This encompasses everything from building layout and plan organisation, through to environmental design solutions, materials and specification of systems.

From hotels, cruise liners, airports and train stations, to schools, offices, laboratories and residential buildings, our interior designers bring our clients’ spaces to life. By responding to their needs, values and aspirations with responsive, bespoke and high-quality designs, we create environments that work and inspire.

We’re dedicated to delivering designs that harness the power of cutting-edge technologies and our clients thrive on our ability to solve problems through creativity, collaboration and flexibility. This approach allows us to use our industry-leading technical expertise so that we have the edge when developing dynamic interiors for any environment.

 Our landscape designers use their flair for creating imaginative and memorable spaces, blending the technical demands of a brief with the natural constraints of location.

We plan, design and implement sustainable and inspirational solutions across a full range of sites, both in rural and urban locations across the world.

From concept feasibility through planning to full implementation on the ground, we enable our clients to achieve the best results from any public or private space, delivering a practical balance between the long-term health of the environment and the demands of modern day living.

We partner with our clients to deliver inclusive design across a variety of sectors - creating environments in buildings which reflect diversity of needs and facilitate social inclusion.

From access audits and strategic advice, through to design team and project support, our network of specialists offers a wide-range of services to many sectors.

Beyond this, our clients trust us to navigate the continually changing legislations around inclusion while anticipating emergent needs relating to issues such as our ageing world population and increasingly diverse societies.

 From the water treatment plants revolutionizing communities around the world to the mission critical software that can make or break a crucial operation: we bring together technical powerhouses and cutting-edge innovation to deliver an engineering service like no other on the planet.

The way we work is as forward-thinking as the solutions we provide, embracing automated delivery, collaborative thinking and a truly flexible workforce. 

The partnerships we forge with our clients encompass all of this and more, as we support them throughout the full project life-cycle, from feasibility studies and planning, to detailed design and whole life support.

 Our comprehensive civil engineering consultation and advice supports our clients from concept design through to construction and operation. Our clients trust our deep-seated expertise across all critical infrastructure – whether they require airports, mixed-use developments, nuclear sites or any other type of civil engineering solution. We co-ordinate large multi-disciplinary teams to create fully integrated engineering solutions, drawing on our extensive international experience to provide our clients with new and different perspectives.

We also work with our clients to understand their specific needs and engage contractors and utility providers to reach a collaborative solution. Our focus on building relationships and a mutual understanding of the end-goal helps reduce the time and cost of delivery.

 Our building services engineers provide a comprehensive environmental, mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy service with an impressive track-record - delivering an extensive portfolio of projects.

As the world our clients operate in continues to change at breakneck speed, they increasingly trust us to deliver solutions with the sustainable, low-carbon considerations that will ensure reliable, long-term success. 

We achieve this by combining technology and creative thinking to produce sustainable design solutions that meet wide-ranging needs and maximize efficiency for both new build and refurbishments
