work with us

Whether you’re a small business owner wanting to develop your own space, a school or health project leader needing help with social engagement and consultation, we’re here to help you realise your perfect environment.

The process

The process is split into four consulting phases. The number of phases in a project and work involved will depend on the project budget for consultation and agreed level of service, here we the present a best practice full service solution.

Featured

1 | Define

We meet with the client and lead architect to define the project goals, the consultation process and the manner in which we will engage the community. We then tailor the workshop content to best achieve your objectives.

2 | Insight

We run workshops, group exercises, surveys and other research methods to engage all stakeholders and inspire dialogue. Each group consists of 8-10 people and always includes the designers and project representatives. We also custom design digital surveys to support the workshop.

3 | Human-centred Brief

We collate and consolidate our findings from the workshops and surveys – identifying patterns and opportunities. We can also analyse similar projects to find best practice examples, and then formulate our findings into a User Centred Brief, which can be used by the client and architect as a springboard for their design.

4 | Alignment

We interpret the workshop data to provide environmental and cultural recommendations for your design. We then conduct regular peer reviews at key points in the project to ensure its development aligns with the community’s feedback.

We work with project owners, community leaders, architects and designers – or anyone who takes a design lead and wants help with the workshop and briefing process.

“For me, the long term impact is that it has set a standard for consumer and stakeholder engagement, it embedded our values into the physical building. It has allowed me to express things that were important to the build, but I previously couldn’t define them.”

— Gabrielle Quilliam, Co-founder Queensland Kids
