Multiple iterations
Utilising tools developed by our in-house research teams, we explore multiple iterations to determine the best solutions to movement and navigation, avoiding congestion. We employ passive design strategies to optimise both energy use and passenger experience. Our strong track record and growing portfolio of transport and infrastructure projects is testament to the success of our approach.

Terminus Multimodal Hoenheim Nord
Completed for the northern terminal of the city’s B tramline, our concept utilises overlapping fields: echoing the energetic movement of cars, trams, bicycles and pedestrians; fusing together to form a constantly shifting but clearly delineated whole. In the car park, floor marks and light posts delineate a ‘magnetic field’.
