Organizations in the arts and heritage sectors are often intimately associated with the spaces they occupy – a great building reinforces a brand, puts an organization on the map, welcomes a broader audience and keeps them coming back time and again. Creating places that will inspire, educate and entertain increasingly sophisticated generations of visitors is no mean feat, especially with ever-greater competition for their attention and leisure time.

When working with educational institutions our teams strive to create stimulating, collaborative, and safe learning environments that foster the critical thinkers of the future. Our projects span the entire education sector, from nurseries, primary and secondary schools to colleges and some of the world’s most prestigious universities.

As the residential sector is changing, our expertise in the matter continues to grow. A combination of demographic and social trends are causing household sizes to shrink. In the UK, there is shortage of land for building residential space while increasing urbanisation and population upsurge means the demand for property in UK towns and cities is fierce.

Retail is important. Not only for the economy, but also for the health of towns and cities on every continent. In Europe, retail accounts for more than a quarter of all commercial real estate. However, going to a physical shop is no longer the only way to acquire the things we want. The growth of online shopping is transforming the world’s largest retail markets but commercial centres still have a vital role to play as we move towards an "experience economy". 

Sports venues should bring communities together, fostering local identity and pride. Sports arenas have the power to light up a city’s skyline, put a region on the map, and bring together all parts of a diverse community. By getting people into pools and onto running tracks, they quite literally boost the health and vitality of a neighbourhood. Our experts can help clients to juggle local needs and sensitivities with the intense pressures of the international sports world.

We understand the challenges that our clients are facing in the fast-paced telecommunications industry and provide tailored engineering solutions that meet their needs.
