Ethos
Graeme Massie Architects was established in 2004, and has established a reputation, nationally and internationally, for producing exemplary architecture and design across a wide ranging project portfolio.
Although architects our work also encompasses master planning, landscaping, product design and public art. We believe in the importance of collaboration and engagement, working closely with clients, users, sponsors, communities, artists and consultants. Sustainability, in all aspects of the practice?s work, is a central concern.
The practice has enjoyed remarkable success in open international design competition. We have overseen the completion of our RIBA competition-winning proposals for the redevelopment of Oxford?s historic Bonn Square, and similarly our international competition-winning masterplan proposals for both the regeneration of the Old Harbour in Reykjavik and the town centre of Akureyri in Iceland are now complete. Work on our RIBA competition-winning proposal for the £12m redevelopment project for Centenary Square in Birmingham are ongoing, and is scheduled for completion in 2019.
Our work has been widely exhibited and published, and recently featured in the 2016 publication New Architects which highlights the work of the most important new practices of the past decade.
