Looking beyond sustainable design, nicholas always strives to create urban environments which contribute positively to the biosphere. This means not simply “keeping things as they are” – which “sustainability” implies – but making a real difference.
We advocate for integrated development, which is created by vertically stacking an imaginative mixed-use programme above transport infrastructure such as rail and light rail.
Developing at intensity creates symbiotic “hubs” which strengthen both the built environment and its transportation links – internal and external. The symbiosis is both social and economic.
Let’s intensify and activate our cities in the right places – in intelligent ways – and increase opportunities for business and for social interaction.
We strongly believe that development should be regenerative – improving outcomes for both the environment and for people.
