Education and Community

Schools, charities and community organisations across the South-East: eleven projects, most led by us from feasibility to hand-over.

Listening first, then designing what works in practice

Combining our experience of working with Schools, Charities and Community Organisations across the South-East, a focus on listening to what each client aspires to, and care in the bespoke design means we can produce creative solutions that work in practice.

Our role is to work with each client to develop a project that is clear, comfortable and uplifting.

We build the team and talk to everyone involved

We can help build a design team suited to the project and liaise with the many parties involved.

  • The building’s users: pupils, staff, volunteers and congregations
  • Governors and Trustees
  • The Local Authority
  • Local residents
