Our Impact

We work with clients to meet their sustainability goals, from city planning to major infrastructure projects, transport networks, and developments (housing, mixed-use, education and commercial). Through creative thinking, we develop solutions that promote community, improve nature's resilience, and offer opportunities for regeneration.

Our impact goes beyond the environment. We influence change at a government level through thought leadership and policy creation. We promote good design by sharing knowledge with colleagues and students – including the Get It Right Initiative (GIRI) and Constructionarium – and our teaching work with schools and universities.

The Wider Trust

We are part of the Useful Simple Trust, an award-winning group of professional design and consultancy practices made up of; Expedition Engineering, Useful Studio, and Useful Projects.

The Trust is committed to leadership on climate action through our projects and the way we operate our business. In line with best practice, we have calculated our corporate carbon footprint, set official science-based targets, and developed a Climate Transition Action Plan.

Our Impact Strands

Our greatest opportunity to contribute to mitigating the climate emergency is through our project work, by supporting and challenging our clients and industry to adopt regenerative design practices. Our four ‘Impact Strands’ demonstrate our commitment to positive transformation of the built environment:
