About Grayspace

We are a solutions-based design consultancy that focuses on the delivery of sustainable buildings that use natural materials sourced through local supply chains, in conjunction with cost effective design solutions that aim to get the most out of the budget.

We believe in:

  • crafting solutions in response to the context, history, and sustainability requirements for each site,
  • tracking, measuring, and monitoring the budget,
  • being collaborative and transparent throughout the design process.

We continually ask ourselves:

  • How can we create a space that will change people’s lives for the better?
  • How can we foster a sense of wellbeing, and encourage meaningful connections?
  • How can we contribute to positive social and environmental solutions within the built environment?

The best results are achieved where planning, architecture and urban design intersect in exactly the right way. This can be a fine balance to strike, with the most successful examples so seamlessly integrated into their surroundings that they feel as though they should always have been there.
