Conventional solutions can fall short in addressing the volatility and conflicting demands of our challenging World: at Instinct, we thrive amidst this growing complexity.

No matter the size and type of project, we believe forward-thinking design opens pathways for urban renewal, creating resilient solutions for clients and stakeholders over time.

Working across disciplines enables us to offer the type of expertise most beneficial to the project, with specialisms ranging across architecture, urban design and engineering, to business strategy, social sciences and ecology. This empowers our team to craft innovative solutions benefiting both our clients and the world we share.

At Instinct, we take pride in the multi-cultural identity of our team. It informs the open-minded nature with which we look at the world as we draw inspiration and insights from across geographies.

Cultural space is shaped by ever-changing dynamics; ranging from social and economic influences to technological, political and ecological factors. Our design considers the indispensable role of culture in sustainable human development, weaving these facets into our work.

In a globalised world, we realise the local and global setting are increasingly intertwined. Engaging actively with a macro and micro context, our interventions harness imaginative responses from global demands and trends as much as local knowledge, idioms, practices, and traditions.

Our goal: revitalising identity by connecting people, place, space, and time. This philosophy guides us, from a human and environment-friendly design, urban placemaking to heritage repurposing; fostering a holistic architectural practice.

We are known in the industry for our specialist knowledge in urban connectivity, mobility design and transit-oriented development. This expertise provides our clients with unique insight in how urban innovation can be stimulated through enhanced connectivity, fostering the exchange of people, resources, and knowledge.

Our team is fully equipped to cover all facets of mobility design; from urban to user-centred analysis, urban strategy, business case, urban planning, to the design and implementation of transport architecture and urban design.

Addressing the challenges that come with urbanisation, we advocate public access to opportunity and essential services, promoting social inclusion and economic growth. We believe in proximity and integrated multi-modal mobility as a linchpin for sustainable development, leading to thriving, vibrant communities.

Instinct champions regeneration through design, uniting societal needs with nature's integrity. We seek new ways to harmonise the built form and the living world into a cohesive ecosystem, fostering adaptability, resilience, and circularity at every scale.

Our team is recognised for its expertise in rehabilitating brownfield sites and for delivering large-scale projects which transform redundant infrastructure into catalysts for urban regeneration. At a building scale, we closely work with our clients to bring a creative approach to sustainable architecture, by harnessing technical innovation in climate design with the qualities of local materials and traditional building techniques.

We promote flexibility and longevity through spatial quality of the design, accommodating diverse uses and interpretations over time. Committed to a sensitive and innovative reuse of existing buildings, our approach reduces the impact on resources while harnessing their emotional, ecological, cultural, and civic value.
