Our experience began with the Cambridge Science Park which was established principally to meet Government requests for a greater interchange of ideas, people and facilities between universities and high-technology industry.
Our original commission with Trinity College Cambridge involved us in all negotiations that led to the submission for Outline Planning Consent in 1970. The first planning permission was granted in 1971 and the park officially opened in 1975. Since its inception the site has expanded from its original 14 to over 130 acres.

MASTERPLANNING Click / Scan for Sector Brochure
Masterplanning consultancy is frequently the centrepiece to the revitalisation of a site of natural or historical interest. It can also offer the expertise and judgements required for transforming challenging building situations.
Analysing the context and sensitivities of the site provides a starting point and we allow our creativity and focus on innovation to take us from there. Our projects offer modern and attractive design solutions, for new builds, sympathetic conversions, refurbishments, or a mixed development.
