Sports architecture: community and leisure facilities
The sporting ecosystem is built from its grass roots in the community.
Our team has worked with public and private sector client teams to bring facilities to local communities, kindling the next generation’s interest in a sport or game, as well as promoting health, wellness, and active lifestyles.
We understand the commercial drivers of publicly funded facilities, managing the design aspiration against budget caps and long-term operational costs. We believe that these facilities are vital to the communities they serve and are a key investment in the social infrastructure of cities.
Our work extends into the higher education sector where we have helped universities provide facilities that are both enriching students’ university experience, but also providing a key attractor for prospective student candidates.
