Architectural design, Project Management, Construction work
A good building is all about the people who design and build it, who own and operate it, but most of all, who use it. A good building is simple to create, operate, adapt and ultimately remove; it’s cost-effective over its lifecycle; it respects its environment; and it is appropriately functional.
Every building has a role to fulfil – for working, playing, making journeys, learning, healing… for living. Each function has its own technical requirements. But human health and happiness also have a significant bearing upon a building’s performance and success.
