GA_Design Approach
Experienced
As a practice we draw on our decades of design experience to inform our approach. We will
advise on what we think would work best and help you navigate the complexities of construction
at each stage that you employ us to.
Crafted
There is a craft to our design and drawing. Quality exceeds notions of style or fashion. This
means that we enjoy constructions of high standard and take inspiration from all parts of the
buildings that we encounter. Our design and drawings need to communicate the detail and
quality of the finished product.
Propriety and Innovation
We enjoy buildings of all types and ages and will work to maximise the opportunities that they
provide. Replicating old details can be as fascinating as designing new ones. Listed Buildings
frequently present the chance to innovate with appropriate new detailing.
GA_Values
Collaboration
We want to hear your thoughts and integrate your unique wants and needs into the project and allow those to shape the outcome. Every project can therefore have individuality and character that combines our design and technical know-how with the existing context and your biggest dreams.
Integrity
This isn’t only about keeping promises. It’s about being the same person at the end of the project as we were at the start. We want to see projects through with strength and diligence. Working on existing buildings can be unpredictable but we are honest and if anything arises we are open and come forward with a solution.
Healthy
The health of the building occupant is one of the driving forces of our decision making. We want client and occupant health to be supported by the building around them, helping you to live healthier happier lives. Prioritising health in this way leads to sustainable choices in the fabric of the building and outcomes of the architecture.
