ABOUT US
Contextual design, spatial experiences, and the interplay between the natural and built environment are just some of the reasons why you would come to us to craft your project. Our inclusive approach with various disciplines and using that knowledge helps us derive concepts to inspire elegant and bespoke designs/creations.
COMMITMENT...PROCESS…DIVERSITY…COMMUNITY
Creative determination, problem solvers and commercially astute are just some of the adjectives one would use to describe the team at Symbolic Spaces (SS).
As Designers and Architects, we work in Master planning and Architecture. We assist private clients, developers, and other disciplines in developing a vision to an international standard and seeing it through. Our collective experience together with our desire to succeed has enabled us to continuously deliver excellent results by delivering more within budget.
DESIGN EXCELLENCE
We believe in the trans-formative power of good design, regardless of a project’s type and scale: from beach homes to warehouses to mixed use schemes. Our body of work is authentic to its place, time and culture.
COLLABORATION
We are for inclusion rather than exclusion…In a world where knowledge sharing is vital, (working in close collaboration with other disciplines) is our key to achieve the best results . An interdisciplinary approach has been an integral part of our process and work to date, allowing elegant and bespoke design solutions to emerge. Integrating the skills of a variety of engineers, artists and artisans, as well as fellow architects in both the UK and West Africa our designs establish a stronger dialogue between space and place.
