WHAT WE DO
Architecture
DesignBox is an RIBA Chartered practice. We are flexible and offer a full or partial service depending on the requirements of the client and project. We are not bound by a specific style but work to a process developed over years of practice, which has proven to be a reliable resource to positively resolve project issues. We usually work on architectural projects up to £2.5M building contract value and are not restricted by project type.
Project Management
We can provide project management services for larger commercial projects up to around £20M building contract value. We believe our combined architectural and project management tool kits, together with our experiences working on challenging and innovative projects makes us unique in our field.
Design Workshops
DesignBox runs architecture and design workshops with schools. These are process-driven explorations in design which quickly evolve in to personal and relevant projects for the students. The workshops dove-tail with the teaching requirements of the schools and National Curriculum, but most importantly they are fun! Young people are our next generation of decision makers and we work to promote their confidence in our workshops.
