Placemake

Company description

Placemake is an RIBA Chartered Practice of architects, urban designers and built environment consultants. Our passion is placemaking and shaping – from master planning, regeneration and strategy to the planning and design of bespoke buildings and places. Our experience spans a wide range of developments of varying scale, character and intent. Often involving complex design challenges, a number of these have gone on to receive commendations and are currently being experienced and enjoyed as integrated buildings, places and spaces. As an independent team, we support a wide spectrum of clients, including land owners and developers, local authorities and municipalities, housing associations, lead or local consultants and intergovernmental agencies. Underpinning every project is a commitment to viable and sustainable design and a passion for places. We are currently working on plans and strategies for mixed-use developments across the UK, the MENA region, West Africa and the Far East.
