'We understand the complexities of designing schools, workplaces, community hubs, boarding houses, master plans, recreation facilities and transport infrastructure. We are driven not only by the desire to create beautiful places; we want the environments we design to be equitable and accessible for users. Crucially, we also want the people who design them to be happy and healthy.'
