Our work is shaped by a genuine commitment to low-carbon design and places that serve communities equitably. Our founder, Professor Sir George Grenfell Baines, envisioned designing sustainable, inclusive, and resilient spaces that enrich communities and the environment. With 60 years of leaving the world better than we found it, this progressive vision for the world is also how we run as a business. We don't just design for inclusion; we are naturally inclusive.
