Creative. Collaborative. Sustainable. Deliverable. Culture.

Creative

We provide our clients with creative solutions to complex design challenges across a broad range of projects and sectors.

We develop and challenge the brief with our clients and understand the context in order to create effective and elegant solutions and believe that innovation evolves through active collaboration with key stakeholders and applying our creative skills to develop solutions.

Collaborative

Building successful and long lasting relationships is crucial to our work. The practice thrives on collaboration, externally with clients, community groups, consultants and contractors and internally in our open studio where ideas and expertise can be exchanged and problems solved.

Building Information Modelling is part of our culture and embedded in our collaboration processes with other team members, providing accurate and coordinated design proposals through planning and design to construction and operations.

We deliver Principal Designer services through our role as Architects and Lead Designers in collaboration with the team.

Sustainable

We believe sustainability should be integrated into projects to create comfortable places to live, work, learn and recover and are committed to integrating fabric first strategies where possible

We are working with many of our clients in their target to reach Net Zero Carbon with both new and existing buildings through the practical application of Passivhaus/Enerphit design, BREEAM and our commitment to compliance through approved documents and sustainable design principles.

Deliverable

The practice delivers projects using Autodesk Revit to add value, reduce risk and increase efficiency for our clients. We are delivering projects to BIM Level 2 and providing BIM Coordination to clients including clash detection, reporting, COBie data delivery and Information Management.

All projects are completed with extensive collaboration with the design team and sub contractors to communicate design through drawings that originate from a central and coordinated model.

We have established Protocols working to ISO 19650 and our QA procedure conforms to ISO BS EN 9001:2008.

Culture

We believe people are the most important asset in our working culture and take pride in our professional team. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to operating within an open working environment, supporting diversity and inclusion.

HMA supports individual growth and gives space to develop within a nurturing environment and open studio. This has been our culture through several generations of leadership and originates from within our team.
