RENOVATIONS

Whether the project is large or small, we aim to create a unique result that will create a better way of living for both the new and existing living environments. We believe that good architecture has the power to change the way we live. At home or at work, while traveling, relaxing or being entertained, good architecture brings people together, it creates a sense of wonder and it enables everybody who uses the space to do things they couldn’t before.
Therefore we work closely with our clients, taking the time to identify their unique requirements and using these to determine a space’s form and function. It’s an approach that suits our love of diversity, if you browse some of our work you’ll realise there’s no house style, just an underlying dedication to putting people first.

RESIDENTIAL

Global trends such as the increasing density of cities and repurposing of existing urban sites for residential use, combined with increasingly sophisticated buyers, makes individualised design a necessity.
In addition the affordability, social housing and sustainability challenges facing the residential and rental markets are increasingly complex.
Residential developments of every size therefore require a detailed understanding of the specific needs and preferences of that particular development’s purchasers and potential residents. Multi residential developments must also respond to the development’s competitive market context and the developer’s business strategy.
Working in partnership with clients, we help create distinctive and marketable concepts that apply consistent design thinking across all touch points of the project – from the architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban design through to the project naming, graphic elements, display suites and marketing materials.

URBAN PLANNING

Developing sustainable, high quality urban spaces is essential to meet the environmental, economic and social pressures of the twenty-first century
We bring together the key skills required to plan, design and deliver major urban projects.
Phillips Associates Ltd is one of few design practices with the ability to deliver large-scale projects from strategic regional planning, master planning and concept feasibility through to built form and beyond.
Our experience, which covers a vast array of projects includes the design of new towns and cities, urban regeneration projects, town centre developments, transit orientated developments, and mixed-use buildings.
We understand the need to design cities and places that are not only functional, but also reflect the values, culture and artistic aspiration of their population. This understanding is central to how we operate.
Our capability in urban design is supported by original research in knowledge, innovation and sustainability – all of which help us achieve our goal to deliver future cities that are robust, culturally rich and economically strong.
