“Stephen is passionate about making places which grow out of the context they are located in”
We are engaged in making places where people feel comfortable. As agents of change, our goal is to facilitate the careful collection of data and valuable inputs from all involved actors which enable more qualified and good decisions from the outset.
Understanding a context is of paramount importance when making sustainable places. Most value is created in the earliest phases of project work. Careful readings of local conditions, cultural heritage, landscapes geology and its vegetation, ecological habitats, built characteristics, scale, textures combined with micro-climate must be combined with local citizens knowledge and their idiosyncrasies foster a meaningful foundation for a qualified project.
Whether it is a challenged housing estate, historical setting or located in the periphery at the meeting place between town and sensitive landscapes, good places must be grow out of the places unique circumstances and support meaningful and inclusive settings for all people where we can live work and relax.

What is a good city for everyone?
Walking around our cities it becomes quickly apparent that the there is a strong tendency towards homogeneity in terms of social mix in the urban realm. I made a TEDX Talk looking at this by asking the question “What makes a good city for everyone?”
