Frankham's architects have a simple principal: use intelligent ideas to create human benefits. Our style is collaborative and inclusive; we will make our clients' combined visions reality. We deliberately do not have a house style but design buildings to intimately connect to context and function. By consulting and engaging with clients, users and stakeholders we visualise and design with an eye to intelligent creative reuse of buildings, sustainability and future adaptability. We want users to find delight in the ordinary through attention to detailing and usability in innovation.
