Team

The people who draw it are the people on site.

There is no separate delivery team here. The person who detailed a junction is the person a contractor calls about it eighteen months later, and that is deliberate.

Placeholder — names and portraits on this page are stand-ins awaiting real team photography. Nobody shown is a member of the practice.

02 / Make-up

A studio split two ways.

Roughly even, on purpose. An exterior-heavy practice produces elevations that cannot be built; a civil-heavy one produces buildings nobody wants to look at.

03 / Studio

How the room works.

  • Drawings and drafting tools on a desk
    Drawings get marked up on paper before anything is issued
  • Drafting table with plans and instruments
    Every detail is drawn at scale, not described
  • Studio workspace
    One room — exterior and civil sit at the same table
  • Desk with calculations in progress
    Numbers checked by hand before they reach a model
04 / How we work

Four things we hold to.

  1. Draw it before you promise it

    Nothing is committed to a client that has not been drawn at scale first. A sketch that works at 1:100 and fails at 1:5 is not a design, it is an opinion.

  2. Stay until it is built

    Documentation quality is only ever proven on site. Leaving at the drawing-issue stage means never finding out whether the drawings were good enough.

  3. Say the expensive thing early

    Ground conditions, orientation and access set most of the eventual cost. If the news is bad it is cheapest to hear at week one, so that is when we say it.

  4. One team, both disciplines

    Exterior and civil sit in the same room and review each other's work. A facade nobody costed and a frame nobody looked at are the same failure.

05 / The rest of us

Everyone else in the room.
