Most of our work involves consulting and designing with groups of potential building users. We do sometimes get involved in design of buildings for more straightforward clients.

Even here though much of our approach remains the same, with investment of time in detailed briefing, an informal but thorough process of exploring alternatives, and a commitment to involving as many as possible of the people who will use the buildings - directors and caretakers have equally valid viewpoints.

Community-based creative consultants Heads Together recently moved from Huddersfield's Media Centre to their own offices on the new top floor of a converted chapel. The difficulty in planning their space was that the new upper floor wasn't there yet, and the huge, high space in the chapel made it very hard to visualise. This is where we (and our 3D visualisation software) came in, setting up a 3D model of the space and allowing colour and lighting to be modelled.
