Design

The consultancy is unique as it specializes in the design of finely detailed lightweight structures. Typical projects include contemporary buildings as well as recycled & reused structures & elements. A sizable proportion of projects undertaken involve hard Landscape Elements and Civil Structures.

The practice has a particular interest in the application of timber technology to wooden construction.




Consultation

When dealing with lightweight buildings, design input from a structural engineer is most effective in the early stages of the Architectural design process so the structural form may be manipulated to take better advantage of the chosen material’s properties.
