Schools

Education is key to building a better future for all. That’s why we create inclusive, accessible schools that inspire and support everyone who uses them. Our holistic approach delivers buildings that can adapt to evolving needs over time.

Our designs reflect the school’s ethos and identity and embrace its locality and civic presence. We aim to make every element of the project an asset for learning – whether outdoor spaces to explore nature or an atrium for cross-curricular activities.

Achieving ultra-low carbon, sustainable schools drives our design process. We consider energy efficient systems that minimise energy, waste and water usage and optimise daylight and ventilation to create all year round learning environments.

Our passion for innovative design has created schools that encourage creativity and collaboration, embrace their community and deliver climate-positive buildings.
