Shakeup Architecture

We believe in challenging the status quo with architecture that is innovative and socially responsive: buildings that add value to the lives of the people they are designed for. Drawing on the diverse qualities and collective experience of our team, sharing an approach that is consultative, intuitive and open minded. Ours is an inclusive, fluid way of working, with a shared passion for architecture and design that is socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. That honours and celebrates heritage, and above all, responds to the specific needs within that community. We believe projects must be environmentally sustainable and economically feasible, with a focus on social responsibility. We recognise the essentially social nature of architecture should meet the needs of a community and enhance their daily experience. Our research-based approach is unique, designed to respond to the distinctive challenges and context of each project. Though collectively our range of skills and experiences are diverse, we share a commitment to a research-led approach — guided by a sense of empathy and curiosity that seeks to understand the interaction between a building and the people it will serve.
