Architecture
We don't just bring creativity to the table; we help to liberate your project’s potential by seeing things differently, and help to draw out and unlock your vision.
With a 50+ year strong relationship, we’re trusted to offer Emmanuel clear and creative advice
Through creative design and responsive problem solving, we create solutions that allow you to own something that not only complies but gives you complete satisfaction.
Whether you are wanting to take the first steps through your planning pre-application (and beyond) or simply get your head around what you can do with your site, we can help. First it is about sketching ideas.
We find the best way to develop your land, building or estate whilst considering the relevant planning, environmental and heritage constraints. We test the limits of what might be possible.
Our responsiveness and ability to be flexible and persuasive takes our success rate to another level. You need a team to trust and have confidence in, making your dream a reality. That’s one less headache.
We work with Oxford and Cambridge colleges, helping Bursars to truly unlock the maximum design potential in their sites whilst retaining and preserving their brand and historic identity.
