why we work
Values are at the heart of everything we do as a practice.
ethical practice
Our mission is to empower and enable everyone to design and build their own home, and transform the way they live with the vision and values we hold as a practice.
We put ethical practices at the heart of everything we do. We want to do our best by the people we work for (and with), for the planet and its ecosystems, and for the places and communities our work impacts.
Our aim in doing so is to ensure that our work is positive and regenerative, and works towards creating a better world that we can all be proud of.
our vision
Our vision is for ethical, equal, healthy, happy and thriving communities to be accessible to all.
We help to design better futures together with our clients. Using our unique skills, knowledge and capabilities as a team, we work through collaborative processes to create a better world, one step at a time.
This is the future that we seek to co-create with you. If it resonates, take your shoes off and come with us on the journey together, barefoot.
our values
Working ‘barefoot’ means that our buildings minimise their environmental footprint, are in touch with their community, and physically connected to their places.
Our design choices have impacts on a wide range of people and the communities in which they are located. We take this responsibility seriously, and seek to consult with them at all stages. This is to ensure we understand first, and respond with empathy to their perspectives.
To enable collaboration with clients and communities, we use a range of co-design processes and tools to facilitate positive engagement, which enables better outcomes for all parties.
Incorporating shared values is what we do.
