Innovation in education – and beyond
Our roots lie in school building design, but our experience spreads much further. Individually we’ve masterplanned housing schemes, delivered student accommodation, designed luxury apartments and refurbished some of the high street’s biggest stores. Together we’ve helped our clients create more than 10,000 school places since 2013.
Our modular expertise and standardised designs are helping schools, academies and local authorities achieve so much more for their communities. They are uniquely designed to minimise disruption, maximise budgets, empower decision making and help us meet the tightest of deadlines. But they’re far from all we do. We also run a wide range of bespoke projects, helping clients create positive, people-focused places in education and far beyond.
A fresh approach to every project
Every project starts with you – the challenges you face, the hopes you have, the opportunities to do more. We bring to the table a range of tried-and-tested design routes, from streamlined and standardised to unique and bespoke. We’ll help you choose the option that best meets your budget, timeline and ambitions, then guide you all the way from first sketch to finished build.
Expertise from across the Scape family
Our energetic architects, technicians and designers bring you a great mix of skills and experience, from sustainable architecture and conservation to interior design and conversion. We’re also part of Scape, which for the last 12 years has been making built-environment procurement a more positive experience for the public sector, empowering organisations to achieve real, lasting change in their communities. By harnessing specialist procurement support from across the group, we can help you control costs, meet deadlines, get ideas off the ground and keep them growing.

It’s not just about designing buildings, it’s about creating school places, inspiring young people and delivering sustainable, affordable places to call home.

“Our early work with Lungfish Architects allowed us to communicate the vision we had for the school; the understanding that we developed over time proved an important stepping stone in reaching our desired destination. We are now delighted to have moved from planning, design and build to the core purpose of exciting children in their education within this unique space. Our thanks go to all who have been involved in this journey.”
