             Since 
              the practice was formed in 1986, it has achieved a reputation for 
              innovative projects working on designs for banks, offices, cafés, 
              fashion shops and substantial private residential properties. The 
              varied work of the studio over the past 15 years shows an ability 
              to carry out work on different building types. The successful design 
              of the Cyberia Café at the Centre Pompidou in Paris led to 
              further work on Internet Cafés in Bangkok, London, Manchester 
              and for Granada. A major fit out for RealNames California  and a further project for a new headquarters building for 
              the same client. Other commissions 
              include various contracts for the German Foreign Office, headquarters 
              for two European Banks, a corporate fit-out in the International 
              Financial Centre (former Nat West Tower) in the City of London and 
              various projects for the BMW Group in Oxford. The practice has experience 
              working with listed structures for private clients in the UK, Germany, 
              Italy and Switzerland. 
            We are 
              known for the application of technology in our projects. We believe 
              in innovation where appropriate and where this will improve the 
              end product and result in a more economic solution. This aproach 
              has created adaptable working environments that stimulate and excite. 
              Colour and light have become integral in our approach which we use 
              as a material rather than an application. The practice has a track 
              record of delivering distinctive, flexible, innovative buildings 
              and interiors. In response to the particular challenges of these 
              specific briefs and the constraints of time and budget we have generated 
              solutions that result in clients returning to us with repeat commissions.
