By designing with our clients, we can create innovative, culturally inspired, financially sustainable spaces that respect the planet. We think about everything – from before the game starts to after it ends. Our goal is to deliver technical excellence and a sense of theatre.
Our specialist team are experts in designing distinct stadia with innovative, parametric designs. We use analysis and computation to assist us with creating the best conditions for athletes. For spectators, we enhance the drama of the sporting experience by considering sightlines, acoustics, climate, safety, audio, branding, and connectivity.
