Future Place Thinking

Future Place Thinking
We are a collaborative inter-disciplinary practice working architecture, strategic visioning, master planning and place-making.
We work with public and private clients to imagine development opportunities through early-stage scoping and scenario building. We explore the back and the future stories and support clients to think in an expansive way about change; before, during and after physical intervention.
Clients include:
The Scottish Government
HIE- Highlands and Islands Enterprise
Crown Estate Scotland
Local Authorities- multiple; SIC/ Fife/ West Dunbartonshire/ N. Ayrshire/ Aberdeenshire+
Vattenfall
Coalfields Regeneration Trust
Shetland Community Benefit Fund
Shawfair LLP
Buccleuch Estate
The practice has a particular interest revitalising tired situations, joining the dots between possibility and need for residents, businesses and visitors.
We are also very fortunate to practice in some of the country's most memorable landscapes bringing new purpose and economic-social-environmental benefits to coastal, canal, river, loch, estate and parkland settings.
