Design

Our design team brings together a mix of experts from architecture to branding, from urban design to landscape architecture, from wayfinding and digital design to masterplanning. Together, we work at both a strategic level to identify the best ways to deliver change through physical interventions, animation, engagement and branding, and at a detailed level, drawing plans for the reconfiguration of streets, public spaces or urban developments.

As our cities and urban centres become denser and need to cater for increasingly complex demands, the pressure on the built environment is mounting both in terms of function and quality. ‘Getting the place right’ requires a strong appreciation of the local context, a good dose of problem-solving and creativity and a multidisciplinary expertise in making sense of practical yet crucial contingencies, especially movement and servicing.

At Steer, our design practice has a strong understanding of the relationship between the built environment and movement. We can successfully deliver complex projects from visioning and masterplanning through to detailed design and implementation. Our team are conversant in residential, commercial, retail and stadium developments and we have a strong focus on mixed-use schemes around transport hubs, city centres and high streets.
