"Designing Sustainable Communities"
Architecture is where people and place intersect.
Social purpose is an often-overlooked aspect of how the design of buildings and spaces impacts on the people who use them. It’s about how buildings fit into and contribute to their surroundings, encouraging opportunities for social interaction and enriching communities.
Inspired by our natural environment,
to enhance and seek stronger connection.
