Leisure
Spaces that make people want to come back
Leisure should be all about the customer experience. Energy costs matter, but ultimately comfort, atmosphere, and functionality matter to the end users.
We’ve designed leisure facilities across the full spectrum from luxury hotels and spas to swimming pools, gyms and community leisure centres, understanding what each needs. We work closely with hospitality groups, local authorities, and operators to design spaces that perform operationally and create the customer experience that encourages repeat visits.

Quality at every budget level
A £2m community leisure centre and a £20m luxury hotel spa need different approaches, but both need to work. At budget level, we can simplify without sacrificing function or enjoyment, equally at the high-end, we can specify premium systems and finishes for the luxury experience.
Budget is a design requirement we understand and respect.
The beating heart of local areas
Leisure centres are important community hubs where people connect, stay healthy, and thrive. They serve families, seniors, vulnerable people and people seeking belonging in the area, so we design with that purpose at the centre.
Breathing life into buildings and creating spaces where people feel welcome, where barriers come down and where community happens.
