Spacelab - Unlocking Space. Empowering People.

We leave the building until last.

Founded on the belief that architecture should be approached from the inside out.

We harness technology, research and creativity to create spaces that bring out the best in people.

The science
of space.

Great design solves real problems. Great design meets the needs of both your business and your people for the long-term.

We work with you to apply a range of in-depth analysis methods, based on our academically-proven understanding of how people and organisations behave in space. Our evidence-driven approach delivers solutions that work better for your business and its users.

This is the way we develop strategies that we deliver with our fully integrated design team. The result? An effective space that really works for everyone, over the long term.

Developed in collaboration

Our award-winning designers don’t simply look at you as an individual business, but as a business of individuals.

We develop your design strategy to create an effective, efficient and, above all, inspiring space. From concept design to detailed design and delivery.

Working closely with our Research and Architecture teams, we offer a completely seamless integrated approach.

Planning
around people

Large-scale master plans. Individual residential schemes. Community centres. Hospital wings. Places of Worship. Architecture is about buildings that create a sense of belonging, whether people work or live or simply enjoy spending time in them.

Working seamlessly with our Research and Design teams, our single, integrated approach creates award-winning spaces that inspire on both the inside and out.

"I’ve always believed that true beauty really is found in the detail - and no more so than in architecture. My job is to make sure every small detail contributes to the big picture."
