Every project begins with an idea. We work with our clients to refine and articulate those ideas and to create a road map to bring them to fruition. This may involve development of timetables for design and fabrication. Or concept studies to flesh out the idea. We investigate precedents, look at the feasibility of site locations, and determine with our clients cost, business and operating plans for execution. We also work with marketing experts to determine potential audiences and pricing structures.

Institutional masterplanning is often the essential starting point of gallery design. Our masterplans explore the opportunities and constraints of collections, audience development and buildings in order to provide a basis for envisioning future museum-making potential. We evaluate the visitor circulation to determine how the disparate stories and collections can work together.

Our core competence is our ability to work with our clients and their audiences to co-create great museum experiences. Our approach is always informed by innovative technology and the boundless creativity and expertise of our designers

Graphic design and art-direction is fundamental to making creative design-led experiences. Our graphic designers have wide-ranging expertise that includes brochures, book design, way finding as well as integrated exhibition graphics.

Design and Construction

We take responsibility for full-service contracts that encompass all elements of design, development and delivery. This includes ‘turnkey’ projects, in which we assume the task of procuring and delivering final fabricated exhibitions.
