      Business outlook

      Pros

      This practice is widely recognised for its strong design culture and involvement in high-profile, internationally significant projects. Many employees value the opportunity to work on ambitious architecture, particularly during early design stages, and to collaborate with a young, talented, and committed team. For early-career professionals, the studio’s reputation and published work can be beneficial for CV development.

      Cons

      However, multiple reviews highlight concerns around long-term stability and internal organisation. Project management and resource planning are often described as reactive, with frequent staff reassignments, limited long-term planning, and periods of sustained overtime. Communication from leadership is perceived as top-down and lacking transparency, particularly around staffing, business outlook, and redundancies. There are also recurring comments about limited focus on proactive business development, reliance on the firm’s established reputation, and a slowdown in new commissions in recent years. From an operational perspective, reviewers note slow adoption of modern tools and workflows, as well as weaknesses in IT support and internal processes, which can impact efficiency and morale.
