Services

As architects we understand how complex the process of procurement and construction can be, irrespective of the scale of the project. We listen to our clients and are adept at interpreting their aspirations and developing a brief, through which we tailor our services to best meet their needs. In so doing we actively take an ethical position that values resilience, innovation and sustainability in the context of climate emergency.

We believe that the interior of a building whether house, apartment or hotel is as important as the outside. We have built a wealth of experience in creating residential, hospitality and commercial interiors that engage the senses in a unique response to the brief. We have an extensive resource of materials and samples in the studio and both design and specify everything from lighting to furniture, cornices to shadow gaps, curtains to carpets.

In 2024 we were placed in the top ten UK practices in the inaugural Regenerative Design Awards (set up by Architecture Today and Architecture Declares).

The citation noted:

"Project Orange is thoroughly embedded in the rural area it serves; not just as architects and designers, but as custodians of the precious social and natural capital that give communities resilience and strength."

“To the economically engaged consumer and socially aware citizen the climate crisis can be a source of personal conflict. Every purchase made and choice taken requires the tempering of desire with conscience if a model of ethical and sustainable consumption is to evolve."
-Christopher Ash

At Project Orange we strongly believe in the importance of education and research within the workplace as a way of critically understanding your own practices. Over the years we have an ongoing project called PO Box. This is a publication to which members of the studio contribute reflective pieces on their own work and engagement with Project Orange. For us this represents a modest but determined attempt to triangulate between theory and practice, between the world of ideas and the world of building. It has been a finalist in the RIBA’s President’s Medals for practice located research. The most recent is titled ‘Help!’ and speaks to the climate emergency.

As professional architects and designers we are always collaborating with others within different disciplines whether as part of the project team or as independent advisers. These may include engineers and landscape architects, garden designers, graphic designers and artists. We collaborate in the spirit of mutual respect, our objective the holistic success of the project.

Very often a project demands an item, be it furniture, lighting or textile that is unique to that project, a bespoke piece of design; something neither off the shelf nor seen anywhere else. At Project Orange we are adept at designing bespoke elements through concept to technical design, which integrate seamlessly with both architectural and interior schemes.
