Transforming Aspirations into Reality
At Design Engine Architects, we believe that every project presents an opportunity to create something truly exceptional. Our founders, Richard Rose-Casemore, Richard Jobson, and Rodney Graham, established our practice in 2001 with a shared vision to exceed our clients' expectations by delivering dynamic, award-winning architecture. Our approach is built on intensive research, leading to responsible innovation and high-quality design.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of architectural services, from education and workplace design to residential, infrastructure, public, and leisure projects. Our team of experienced architects and designers work closely with clients to understand their aspirations and deliver bespoke solutions that meet their needs. Whether it's a sustainable office design, a major further education project, or a world-class learning facility, we strive to create buildings that tell stories and connect their site, activity, and inhabitants through beautiful architecture.
Our Approach
Our design process is collaborative and inclusive, involving intensive research, model-making, and sustainability considerations. We believe in promoting democracy in design, facilitating open discussion and harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of our team. Our approach is inspired by the pursuit of quality, and we strive to create buildings that are distinguished by high-quality design and technical resolution, rather than relying on formulas or style.
Sustainability
As an ISO14001 certified company, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. We adopt a holistic approach to design, seamlessly integrating structure, space, and environmental performance. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our daily practices, from reducing plastic usage and carbon emissions to designing buildings that work in harmony with their environment.
Our Culture
Our studio culture is built on collaboration, openness, and a passion for design excellence. We believe in shaping our culture through design reviews, project workshops, and our Friday Feedback sessions, which bring our team together to share experiences and learn from each other.
