Rather, each project is seen as an opportunity to explore ideas that are uniquely defined by their brief, cultural and geographical context and the collective aspirations of the client and design team. The practice was established 70 years ago and whilst it has undergone significant change with each new generation of partners, the guiding principles on which it was founded remain the same: Innovation, Sustainability and Social Conscience. Today these core values continue to shape the practice. Innovation is central to the practice and is encapsulated in the Design Lab - a process and methodology for creative design. Of equal importance is our commitment to sustainability, which influences everything we do. Our Sustainability Group works throughout the practice and across all projects to develop meaningful sustainability propositions. Social Conscience permeates everything that we do. Today, Sheppard Robson has over 350 architects, designers, technicians and support staff in offices in London, Manchester, and Glasgow.

Each building begins with the site, and the particular desires to transform it. Buildings are earth, made of matter, and a continuation of the geological processes that produced their sites, part of natural evolution. A building marks and amplifies its unique spot on the globe. Like a lens, it brings to focus its particular time and place. This relationship to the local, to location, is a natural way for uniqueness to emerge from ideas of buildings which may be generic and general. Through the relations to geography, site, climate, culture, and resources, buildings are naturally specific. Both the buildings in landscapes and the work in cities demonstrates this marking of time and place. Green architecture is not just about the future of building, but the key to any future. We have developed both passive and active energy systems. These include intelligent passive design using solar orientation, shading, day lighting, window layers, and active systems like sensors which calibrate and balance interior environments, photovoltaics, geothermal and river cooling. We use renewable resources, and build lightly, using the least possible materials and effort to encompass the most possible volume and space. Our entire practice revolves around the idea of economy and optimization.

Baldridge Architects is an award-winning Austin, Texas architecture studio with a depth of knowledge in modern design, construction and detailing. At the very core of our practice is the belief that architecture should perform equally at all scales, from the large-scale massing to the smallest detail. We favor a program-specific and site-specific approach, counseling our clients to maximize their budgets by investing in more thoughtful design and higher quality construction instead of larger spaces. We favor better spaces through rigorous design, durable materials, comprehensive detailing and the silent employment of sustainable features. From inception through construction, we deliver durable, contextual and responsible modern designs. In the aggregate, there is a sense of carefully considered solidity and deliberation to our projects that is "felt" more than seen. The combined experience in the firm includes high-end residential, hospitality, commercial, institutional, retail, modular, interior and furniture design as well as commercial tenant finish-out. Our work has been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Architectural Record, dwell, Design Bureau, National Geographic Traveler, Luxe and Metropolis as well as various regional publications. Sustainability is paramount in our designs. But it is no longer enough (or even desirable) that a project "appears" green or employs token recycled features. It is a core philosophy to our work. We would prefer that the projects merely be green without announcing themselves as such. In the past, we served as the general on our jobs - experience which directly informs our design work. Today, we maintain a presence in the field as subcontractors. If the subcontractors or artisans in a particular community are incapable or unwilling to deliver certain details, we are more than willing to do it ourselves. Quite simply, the small moments matter.
