Located in the North Alexandria Conservation Area, the re-imagined warehouse will accommodate the whole team in one light-filled space. The purpose designed office will allow for a materials library, a workshop and ample meeting spaces. A canteen and breakout zones, and amenities such as bike storage and showers will also ensure a high quality work environment...#PeopleDiversity - SDS employs 40 people who work across five teams focusing on projects from bespoke private houses to large-scale masterplans...#ProjectDiversity - While they have a recognizable signature, each new project presents a new set of opportunities to make the most of the site in question and harness them to the personalities and requirements of their clients.

Each Monday during design reviews work is pinned up and the practice talks about how it is progressing. “Design review is the spring board for how we enable collaboration within the office”, comments founder William Smart. Then once a month the office holds masterclasses where everyone comes in early for croissants and coffee and someone gives a teaching session. These vary and have covered topics like talking to clients, how to deliver a job on time, and how to design to meet new and changing regulations. Smart also looks outside the architectural profession for inspiration. The practice’s ‘brown bag talks’ bring in industry experts from choreographers to book editors and artists to talk about their passions. ..#CompanyCulture - “We are dedicated and critical but we like to have a bit of a laugh at the same time”, says Smart.
