Architects making buildings through imaginative renovation and re-use
“ New Makers Bureau is such a great partner for arts and culture because their team is inspired by new ideas, and always up for experimentation and co-creation. It's wonderful to work with a team that is committed to sustainability and that passion is deeply felt in all they do. They are active listeners, flexible, and on top of it all just a really lovely team of people to work with.”

Our Values
-
#1 Tread lightly
We make low embodied carbon and low energy in-use buildings that tread lightly on the earth. We measure the environmental impact of our buildings and our business activities.
-
#2 Nurture the imagination
We approach every project with an open mind and help to discover the unique solutions that best suit the project, the site and your brief.
-
#3 The joy of making
We celebrate making - paying particular attention to the materials we use, their provenance and the way they go together. Having an understanding of how to shape and use materials make our buildings a pleasure to use.
-
#4 Sweat the small stuff
We pay attention to the details, often going beyond our role to facilitate wider project aims and objectives. We help to navigate and secure funding, think about communications and help tell stories. The details matter.
-
#5 Don’t compromise
We don’t compromise our values. We take a leading role in making the radical change that is needed to make our built environment a force for good.
-
#6 Collaboration
Making buildings is a collaborative process - we don’t always have the answers. We create a nurturing creative process where ideas can be shared and explored together and the specialist skills and talents of individuals can be harnessed.
