With projects across the UK and the world, we pride ourselves in producing cutting edge design that is routed in an entrepreneurial spirit. For twenty years we have consistently created value for the clients we work for. We work across a variety of sectors ranging from commercial to retail, residential and hospitality. We focus on both the creation of new buildings as well as the reuse of existing. Our work is sensitive and authentic, but it is also unapologetically joyful and surprising. Like all Shoreditch originals, we enjoy sitting just the right side of unconventional.
