Collaboration with our clients is at the apex of our approach, driving our ability to deliver innovative, responsible solutions that consistently achieve the pinnacle of success.
International
A core element of the projects undertaken by James Cubitt are those completed internationally, in particular projects in developing nations where issues surrounding access, material availability, and construction skills become critical factors that influence the design process. The practice has had the privilege to be involved in a number of aid-based projects that seek to improve the infrastructure, facilities, and opportunities for those living in extreme social conditions.
These projects require an ability to recognize the unique aspects of each country, collaborating with local stakeholders to ensure projects consider social, community, and religious aspects in addition to the more pragmatic building philosophies surrounding orientation, climate, and environment.
The development of these projects supports James Cubitt’s strong environmental approach. Sustainability has been integral to the design philosophy of much of JCP’s architecture, giving our work rigor and suitability for purpose. The ability to design purpose-built projects that meet the bespoke conditions associated with each site whilst maintaining value for money has enabled James Cubitt to identify core architectural principles focusing on issues surrounding function, life-cycle costing, and sense of place.
Recent projects undertaken in the Pacific region have reinforced this need for architecture to be adaptable to its conditions. Projects completed have relied heavily on local materials, construction techniques, and capabilities, allowing buildings to be costed for their location and providing opportunities for upskilling of local contractors. This has been a strong objective of James Cubitt’s international portfolio, with the practice actively seeking to be a part of further training of local consultants and contractors through a collaborative process of working in partnership.
The practice understands the need for design to embrace wider social and environmental responsibilities; this is never more apparent than when working in developing nations. James Cubitt’s history through Africa, the Middle East, and Pacific is a reflection of a larger philosophical agenda adopted by staff of being part of positive change.
Learning
The traditional paradigms of Learning Environments are constantly changing, be it through individual learning, group learning, or integrated technology. Jams Cubitt’s involvement in the design of Education Buildings and Spaces over 25 years of practice has enabled the office to remain at the forefront of this change to both challenge and influence the outcomes of learning environments.
The nature of projects executed has exposed James Cubitt to a diverse range of project types, both new builds and refurbishments, enabling the practice to develop a clear understanding of the unique aspects associated with the creation of Learning Environments. Accommodating the myriad of Learning Spaces capable of meeting the flexibility required by teaching methodologies and, more significantly, the impact of changing technology requires a collaborative consultation process with stakeholders. This process enables James Cubitt to tailor design outcomes that reflect the specific requirements surrounding the unique nature of each and every project.
On the principle that learning begins with a conversation, James Cubitt seeks to create architecture for universities founded on the basis of collaboration and consultation. Time to let the discussion begin.
