How we work

Four steps, one partner the whole way.

  1. Listen

    Two weeks on site and with the people who will use the building, before any drawing.

  2. Draw

    Three options at the same level of detail, so the choice is real.

  3. Build

    Weekly site visits and one drawing set that the contractor and the client both read.

  4. Hand over

    We return after one summer to check how the building really performs.
