Concept and Design.
We develop creative concepts and designs that respond to the unique character of each place, its history, and its community. Every idea is shaped through collaboration, ensuring it resonates with the people who live, work, and visit there. Our designs aim to be both imaginative and meaningful, creating experiences that connect people and place in lasting ways.
-
We approach concept development with a fresh perspective for each project, allowing the site, context, and community to guide our ideas rather than relying on a fixed stylistic approach. Our designs are driven by understanding—of place, purpose, and people—ensuring that every concept is tailored, relevant, and meaningful.
-
Collaboration is central to our approach to public art, as we often team up with other artists and specialists, working closely with clients, communities, and stakeholders from the earliest stages. We actively embrace engagement and conversation, using workshops, consultations, and participatory activities to ensure the artwork reflects shared ideas and fosters a sense of ownership and connection.
-
We embed sustainability into our designs from the very start, carefully considering materials, methods, and energy use to minimise environmental impact. We also plan for longevity and adaptability, thinking about the artwork’s lifespan, maintenance, and how it can continue to engage and inspire over time.
Responding to people and place.
