Profile

We are a talented, creative team of around 80 with a shared ambition to work together to make healthcare better. Our knowledge and expertise is founded on over 35 years of experience giving us a deep understanding of the challenges and specific requirements of the healthcare sector.

Our teams work from three UK offices in every aspect of healthcare design for both the NHS and private providers. Services include architecture, interior design, estates rationalisation, masterplanning and project management.

As a trusted partner in healthcare with an exemplary delivery record, we consistently demonstrate great design and technical knowledge, embedding true value into every project. From modest refurbishments to major reconfigurations, extensions and new builds, delivering large scale new projects or complex estate rationalisations, we apply the same enthusiasm, expertise and passion for designing outstanding healthcare.

We work in all sectors: acute, primary, mental health, older age and specialist care, designing critically acclaimed schemes that deliver benefit and improve healthcare outcomes. Our desire is to create better places for people to live, work and be cared for.

Successful projects are about people; those who commission, conceive, use, design, and construct them. The start of our design process begins with intelligent listening and a positive environment for creative thinking. This coupled with our knowledge and experience allows us to work collaboratively with clients and colleagues to deliver buildings that delight, that function well and provide high long term value. Our open, team approach aims to give all stakeholders a voice in the design process, producing buildings that function efficiently on all levels, offer highly therapeutic facilities and represent the best value for our clients.

Above all we are endlessly passionate about what we do.
