Housing
We are addressing the global challenges posed by the housing crisis and an aging population by collaborating with clients to design housing at scale, from high-density living in the form of mid-rise and high-rise developments, to masterplanning new communities.
Our designs revitalise neighbourhoods, reduce environmental impact, and create vibrant living spaces. Collaboration with clients is key – we align with their design and commercial goals to craft concepts that attract buyers and renters. No matter the scale, our priority is the residents’ social, cultural, and economic needs.
We design homes with people in mind, focusing on how spaces will be used and improving quality of life. Innovation underpins our approach, from adding density to existing buildings to converting industrial sites into sustainable apartments.
