The Usher Building brings academics, researchers, industry partners and the public together around data-driven health research. Designed in the wake of Covid, it had to do more than house people. It had to look after them.

We shaped the interiors around light, movement and wellbeing, making it easy to shift between focused work, shared activity and a moment of pause without friction.

Natural light does the heavy lifting on long days. Flexible layouts, soft materials and a clear spatial rhythm keep a live research environment calm and legible.

A high-performance building that still feels human.
