Residential - From complex, mixed-use projects, inner city flatted developments, to large scale two storey housing sites, we have over 50 years of experience in producing all types of residential design.
Our approach is rooted in a detailed analysis of each site’s context, ensuring that new developments harmonise with historic backdrops while enhancing the local environment. Central to our design philosophy is fostering a sense of community, carefully considering how residents move through their environment, interact with neighbours, and develop a sense of belonging and ownership in their homes.
Our expertise spans all forms of residential living, including extensive experience in designing care homes across Scotland, England, and Ireland. These projects prioritise high-quality spaces, vibrant landscapes, generous daylight, and carefully considered views, all adhering to the latest regulatory guidance. We are also adept at designing Build-to-Rent accommodations, which often incorporate communal facilities such as cafés, gyms, and cinemas for young professionals, as well as student residences, where spaces are crafted to balance study needs with social interaction.
Our residential designs are tenure-neutral, promoting cohesive urban fabrics that serve both private and social housing needs. We emphasise high-quality environments that nurture meaningful community relationships across all tenures.
Sustainability is at the core of our practice, with all buildings designed to the highest energy conservation standards. This begins with passive measures, including high insulation, airtight construction, solar orientation, and heat recovery ventilation. We also incorporate renewable energy solutions to deliver low-carbon power systems tailored to each project.
We believe every site has an optimal development density that balances its potential with community benefit. Through rigorous analysis and design, we uncover sustainable solutions that enhance the urban fabric while contributing positively to the wider community.
