We recognise research as a bespoke practice that helps to actively elevate architectural firms and supplement the diversified design services they offer.
For practising architects, research can be a difficult concept to pin down and define but what is clear is that research is an intellectual fuel for the engine of innovation and growth for many businesses, including architects’ practices.
Drawing on our links to our network of academic and wider research organisations, we use project-specific methodology processes to explore the validity of ideas in areas such as design theory, socio-spatial relationships, post-occupancy evaluation and policy so we can help ensure - through rigoures testing - that the philosophical approaches behind design projects are well grounded.

We undertake data gathering and measuring variables of interest using a systematic framework of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to validate research questions, test hypotheses and evaluate outcomes.
The process of systematically applying rigorous statistical analysis techniques to describe, evaluate and illustrate data results to analyse for patterns in observations through the entire data collection phase.

At this stage we endeavour to develop and refine the data and methodologies. To help ensure success, the final process involves a thorough and rigorous testing of the data in real world experiments.
After publishing results, we provide all the outreach including conferences and speaking engagements on your behalf to promote the vision and results funded by your organisations.
