Culture & Team
We’re a group of people who think differently, and think bigger.
We believe real creativity isn’t just about ‘great design’ or ‘architectural principles’ – its about intelligent thinking that solves problems, innovates, challenges assumptions, imagines and explores.
Our People
Associated Architects’ approach is one rooted in listening, exploring, questioning, researching, designing and leading. It is concerned with analysis and problem solving rather than by stylistic preconception and generic design solutions. Our client’s brief is the starting point for our design work and our buildings are always influenced by responsible economic, environmental and social concerns.
