Delivering Exceptional Architecture and Design Solutions
At Design Engine Architects, we believe that every project has the potential to tell a unique story, connecting people, site, and activity through stunning architecture. Our journey began in 2001, founded by Richard Rose-Casemore, Richard Jobson, and Rodney Graham, with a vision to exceed our clients' expectations by delivering dynamic, award-winning architecture.
Our approach is inspired by intensive research, leading to responsible innovation. Our buildings are distinguished by high-quality design and technical resolution, not formulas or style. We believe in transforming individual knowledge into collective wisdom, promoting democracy in design through open discussion, design reviews, project workshops, and our Friday Feedback sessions.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including architecture, interior design, and sustainability consultancy. Our expertise spans across various sectors, including education, workplace, residential, infrastructure, public, and leisure. We have successfully delivered award-winning projects, from universities and schools to bridges, masterplans, and cultural performance venues.
Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of our design philosophy. We take a holistic approach, seamlessly integrating structure, space, and environmental performance. As an ISO14001 certified company, we are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting environmental protection in our architecture.
Sustainability
We design according to first principles, adopting best practices from the outset, rather than applying secondary green 'bolt-ons' to improve the performance of our buildings. Our holistic approach to sustainable design ensures that our projects co-ordinate with multiple sustainability accreditations. We have defined a framework of five themes, which we explore within our designs, offering our clients a comprehensive approach to sustainable design principles.
Our Team
Our team of talented architects, designers, and sustainability experts work collaboratively to deliver exceptional projects. We share a passion for creating buildings that inspire and connect people. Our studio culture is built around democracy in design, where everyone's voice is heard, and ideas are nurtured.
