We work together with our clients, stakeholders and wider community to find effective solutions for every challenge – no matter how big, small, or complex.
We recently got the opportunity to visit our project, The Greenwood Centre for Independent Living in Camden. Run by disabled people, for disabled people, the centre empowers people to take control of their own decisions, allowing them to lead a full and active lifestyle.
During the visit, we spoke to service users, centre employees and Camden Council reflecting on the positive impact the project has had on the community.
Our conversations highlighted the importance of creating spaces that are not only inclusive and accessible but that can adapt with the specific needs of the people who will use them. Since opening, the building’s design has allowed it to continuously evolve, with adaptable spaces that suit a wide range of activities, needs and environments.
One of the key takeaways from this visit was the value of working closely with stakeholders and clients to support a smoother project delivery and stronger collaboration, ensuring everyone worked towards a shared understanding and goal.
We’re proud of the work we do, and it’s moments like these that remind us why we’re passionate about creating spaces that generate positive change.
