Our view of architecture is drawn from our overwhelming interest in urbanity. By this we mean what is the impact of architecture beyond the immediate and specific question of ‘the building’.

Our approach is through the idea of ‘architecture as landscape’ from which we address the key issues of our day -issues such as the changing way we live and work, our basic requirements for shelter, our desire for better urban space and our absolute need for sustainable cities.

Our theoretical position is continuously evolving through commissions and on-going research. The work of our practice ranges from Masterplanning, to the design of Towers, Universities and Educational Facilities, Community and Cultural Buildings, Shopping Centres, Hotels and Infrastructure projects.

The architecture practice is currently working on the design of The Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies University at Education City Doha for The Qatar Foundation, Eco-Hotels in the Sahara, a Cultural Centre in North London, a sports complex for Saudi Aramco in King Abdullah Sports City, and Phase 3 Dohaland. We are also designing a new superstore shopping centre for Tesco UK.

We have considerable international experience in the design of low energy and sustainable buildings to LEED and BREEAM and including work for MASDAR City, Abu Dhabi, the World’s first Zero Carbon City.
