Three areas of strength help QODA consistently deliver the best results for clients: a good knowledge of technology, a design-led creative approach and a clear understanding of sustainability.
Our projects often involve the design of high technology systems. Whether it is working with cutting-edge audio visual technologies, sensitive environmental constraints or critical power and air conditioning systems, we always strive to find simple and intuitive solutions to the trickiest of problems.
Read MoreWe are well aware of the visual impact of our work and the responsibility that places on us to develop creative design solutions which support the highest standards of architecture. Our free-thinking team is encouraged to look beyond the obvious solution and search for a better one, even if the obvious route ends up being best.
Read MoreAware that sustainability will continue to grow in importance, we keep ourselves well ahead of the game. To achieve the optimum carbon reduction and low energy design, we employ the latest modelling techniques. Our team includes accredited Low Carbon Consultants and Low Carbon Energy Assessors, highlighting our commitment in this vital area.
