Motivation from the process

Time and energy saved through an efficient process makes more available to be spent on design, with added value to the project.

Collaboration within the project design team is motivating. Much of our new work comes from team members with whom successful collaboration has been achieved. The culture of Structures One encourages everyone, in his or her own way, to contribute to the challenge through a best practice approach to design and management.

“Innovation” is about solving an old problem in a “new” way, a quality which is often quite legible in buildings but is best expressed in bridges. Our competition winning entry, with Springboard Design, for improvements to Battersea Park would have included a 90m span footbridge across the Thames, but LB of Wandsworth were unsuccessful in their bid for the Millennium funding.
