Five axes from design to turnkey construction. All in the same office, with the same responsibility.
- Architectural Design We design strong, characterful buildings with a brutalist philosophy. Every project brings out the natural character of its material.
- Interior Design Straightforward interiors in raw materials: fair-faced concrete, raw steel and natural timber.
- Urban Design Large-scale master planning: we shape public spaces, squares and green corridors with strong buildings.
- Restoration & Conversion We conserve and give new life to the concrete buildings of the 20th century.
- Turnkey Construction We build what we design: our own site team, our own formwork carpenters, single responsibility.
C50/60 · POURED 2024We build what we design
The time and quality lost between architect and contractor stay at a single table with us. Our formwork carpenters, site managers and architects work in the same office.
- One contract, one responsible party
- A sample panel on site before every pour
- Weekly cost and programme reports
- Maintenance manual and support after handover
Form follows function.
Material is not hidden.
Concrete stays as it is.
