This is founded on bringing together the physical, environmental, social and economic dynamics of a location, from the past and present so as map out what the future could be.

Working closely with partners and stakeholders, Colour formulate vision and develop strategies that help guide the best possible outcomes for places.

Based on years of expertise from our senior team, two of whom are Design Review Panellists, this early thinking helps a client or design team get ahead.

Through demonstrating what makes a place a place ‘at the front end’ and understanding constraints such as from BNG, all design decisions can naturally flow in the right direction thus saving time and money.

These services apply to all projects with robust RIBA Stages 0, 1 & 2, including feasibility studies, Supplementary Planning Guidance, masterplanning, Landscape Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment.

Meanwhile uses and pop-ups are another aspect of place that can rapidly bring the public realm to life. Colour have extensive experience in this field, such as at the Grey Street Gatheringin Newcastle Upon Tyne.
