International Development
We are a leading specialist in architectural design and localised construction in the International Development Sector. We have worked with government bodies, local and international NGOs and commercial clients on the development of public sector projects across 5 continents. Our projects range in value between £5,000 - £5M.
We bring a global network of expertise to localised projects, ensuring that any structure, space or building is suited to the immediate context. It is imperative that all of our projects are designed and built in collaboration with local people and utilise entirely locally available materials to increase ownership, whilst furthering the buildings’ functionality, longevity and aesthetic qualities.

OUR ADDED VALUE
Our process adds value to our projects, and achieves an economical build that also has a big impact.
Well designed buildings, built with integrity to have a lasting impact don’t need to be expensive. Our process not only reduces our client’s risk, cost and timeframe but provides a measurable social, environmental or economic impact. We constantly monitor and evaluate the impact our work has on the communities in which it is situated and consider this highly important to progress towards our vision of quality design that is accessible to all.
REDUCED COST
With more efficiencies throughout the whole process, cost can be greatly reduced. Less requirement for external consultants or sub contractors creates further savings. On charitable development projects, workshop income helps to further reduce professional fees.
REDUCED TIME
Less requirement for communication between different parties reduces time on site (when compared with other procurement methods). Designing of certain elements can happen on site, further reducing time.
REDUCED RISK
With a single point of contact and responsibility, the client’s risk is reduced.
Our combined team experience further reduces the risk.
INCREASED INNOVATION
With a wide network of collaborators inputting ideas and expertise, innovative design and construction solutions are formed.
INCREASED IMPACT
Through the integral involvement of local communities, our projects create a social, environmental and economic impact, creating a building with added value.
