Sergison Bates architects combine architecture, construction research and planning and the practice is involved in a variety of projects at different scales, ranging from urban planning to public buildings and housing.
The practice has won awards for built work, been successful in competitions for public buildings and urban scale developments, and is frequently featured in publications and exhibitions in the UK and abroad.
The work of the practice engages with the complex nature of the contemporary city and of suburbia, seeking to transform and re-interpret the conditions of the everyday and the familiar. All projects explore ideas through construction and seek to make a unique architecture which is both rooted in context, aesthetically appropriate and contemporary.
