Projects

We are fortunate to be working on a number of projects globally; from large capital builds to small incubator projects and from rich multisensory experience design to enterprise architecture and capacity building. No matter the type of the project, our inclusive design methodology is applied as we endeavor to welcome the widest possible audience in an inclusive and operationally sustainable manner.
