AKA match your places to your mission

Property is your second largest organisational cost following your staff.

We describe how your physical environments must reflect who you are and optimally support your communities so these major investments help you deliver on your mission and vision.

We dive deep into relevant research about how the physical environment impacts your sector and services so that your CEO and Board can be confident that they are implementing best practice. We then engage your stakeholders, staff and end users through carefully designed methods to tease out their needs, experiences and how your places could more optimally support them.

Our unique expertise, developed through over 20 years of consulting and designing public places, is synthesising these inputs into a framework that translates ambiguous ideas into practical guidance for the procurement, design and delivery of your places.

Our deliverables include tailor-made toolkits for both your internal team members and external providers. These include design guidelines, templates, checklists, staff training and ongoing quarterly check-ins for the first 12 months. This ensures your internal stakeholders are confident and capable of embedding your design framework in their day-to-day roles.

perfect if you want:

to know that your places match your mission, that they actively support strategy and culture by design
an evidence-informed decision making process for assets, connected to impact
consistency and equity across your (or your member organisations’) sites and assets
