Spaces to design, build and experiment

Our process of design development is underpinned by making from sketch models, site and detail modelling to 1:1 prototyping of spaces. 
This hands-on approach to crafting interiors is supported by our workshop facilities, which include traditional wood and metal workshops alongside digital fabrication and immersive technology. 
You’ll also have access to ceramic, textile and print workshops and technician support to help you realise your designs in three dimensions.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Studio culture

Core to your time there is your own desk space in our vibrant, open-plan studio where you’ll work alongside a range of design disciplines, which evokes the multi-disciplinary environment of design consultancies and co-worker maker spaces. 
Our modules encourage cross fertilisation, collaboration and teamwork giving you a great opportunity to work with and learn from your peers.
