DESIGN APPROACH

THESE ARE THE PROJECTS WE DO TOGETHER (The Projects) was formed as a result of a combined interest in design, the built environment and public space and is devoted to participation and consultation in the development of projects.

We currently have a diverse range of projects that we continue to nurture. Our primary aim for the future is to produce new projects that expand and define what it is we do. With every project, there comes a new set of questions, a new way of working and a new way of thinking.

Touching spaces gently and being light on the ground are key to our working practice. Portable, rechargeable, demountable, flexible and at a human scale. These are elements that we believe allow the public to engage with these projects.
