Social and environmental responsibility is at the heart of our practice. We began practising as community architects and most of our work continues to follow a strongly social and humanistic agenda, whether this be in urban regeneration, mixed use schemes with affordable housing, creating university campuses or undertaking cultural projects.

We have a strong commitment to supporting communities in the developing world. Our projects include an AIDS and malaria clinic in Malawi, an outdoor teaching and performance space for an orphanage in Chennai, India, two houses for AIDS orphans in South Africa,and three schools projects in Uganda, in conjunction with PEAS and the Richard Feilden Foundation.

We were the first architects to receive a Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development and our commitment to running a responsible and sociable practice was acknowledged in 2005 when we were selected as one of the Sunday Times’ Best Companies to Work for.
