Our team is a diverse and friendly one and we all work in a single studio at Rook Lane. Sharing knowledge – learning – is how we’ll build a better future. We want our people to develop and grow, so we encourage everyone to challenge themselves. With such a diverse range of projects on the go, there are plenty of new opportunities to explore. We’ve initiatives in place too: from regular studio sharing sessions and industry networking opportunities, to mentoring and our CPD programme.
Each year we welcome students on placements as well as school pupils on work experience.
We have principles that guide our team, inspire, grow and form a sense of togetherness:
Every day is a school day
With over 30 years of architectural experience in the sector, as well as a significant portfolio of civic projects, we know how to create inspiring educational environments. But that doesn’t mean we can’t keep learning. Every school’s needs are unique, so we approach each project with an open mind. Inquisitive and curious, our designs embrace creativity and the unexpected to delight the people who use them.
Share the ambition
We believe in working with our clients towards a shared goal: creating inspiring environments to learn. This means defining the challenge and refining the brief – and, when necessary, challenging expectations. This partnership helps us to create stimulating, intuitive and planet-friendly spaces for the students of today and the future.
Balance work and life
We’re a friendly bunch – our inclusive and supportive team have created a workplace and culture where people flourish. We’re proud of where we work too: the vibrant town of Frome. Our events space means we’re truly at the heart of a thriving and inspiring creative community. As a result, we have a busy social calendar and low turnover of people. And that creates better continuity for clients.
