| The Practice has been involved with mixed use developments for many years, gaining vital experience in the early years of speculative office and retail developments leading up to the recession in the 1990s, after which they became incorporated into mixed use developments. Our expertise across a wide range of sectors has enabled us to identify the key requirements when designing mixed use developments involving retail, offices and private and affordable homes. Other mixed use developments have included the re-modelling of old church buildings incorporating new multi-functional halls, day nurseries and residential accommodation; communal offices with a café and affordable housing; and key worker flats over office accommodation.
