Associates primarily worked
across the disciplines of architecture and landscape. Each
may stand alone, but together they allowed a more
comprehensive and integrated approach to design problems.
The Practice had particular skills in the preparation of
unusual and innovative development proposals, primarily in
the environmental, residential and leisure sectors; these
skills extend to historic building refurbishment and
providing landscaping of calibre. The Practice prepared
planning and feasibility studies which concisely appraised
the opportunities, obstacles and costs of marginal and
unconventional projects.
The primary concern of the Practice was to provide a
service of the highest standard to clients and end users.
The Principal was personally involved in all projects,
assisted as necessary by others who shared a commitment to
quality. The Practice was committed to continuing
professional development and the maintenance and
improvement of personal and professional skills.
From the outset the Practice philosophy was based on the
following tenets -
• to ensure provision of a comprehensive professional
service to meet client
needs and
ambitions; based on
principles of quality and integrity;
• encourage the
enhancement of the environment by dedication to good
architecture and
design;
• continue the
programme of professional development;
• develop lasting relationships between the Practice and
its clients; and
• to conduct business in such a way as to meet
responsibilities to
employees,
clients, suppliers and the community.
Over the years the Practice built up a wide range of
clients in the public and private sectors and has provided
consultancy services for a wide range of building and
landscape types, including Ministry of Defence
establishments, housing (new build and refurbishment),
health care, tourist developments and sport and
recreation.
