At Gray Puksand, we place people first, we build on knowledge, we lead through design and deliver real change.
We’re proud to make a meaningful contribution. It’s been a hallmark of our practice for over 30 years, and it’s our legacy.
Peoples First
Our design is human centred. Our culture has people at the heart. We value diversity and inclusion in our people. Our work is an authentic representation of our diverse staff, and a response to the needs of our clients drawn from empathy. We seek to improve experiences, both in the way we craft spaces for working, learning and living, and in the way we work together as a practice.
We place people first.
Collective intelligence
The vast and collective intelligence of our people is woven through the fabric of our multidisciplinary practice, binding every element of the work we do with insight, experience, research and rigour. We also acknowledge that we are constantly learning. Each project is an opportunity to unlock new ways of thinking, and to build on our knowledge in key sectors through our culture of open collaboration.
We build on knowledge.
Leading Design
Our award-winning designs not only fulfill the brief of our clients, but our own desire to transform. Our curiosity, creativity and relentless conviction to always do better defines our craft. In transforming spaces, we evolve the story of architecture itself, challenging the status quo and proudly pioneering a future that is smarter and more sustainable for all.
We lead through design.
Inspiring Outcomes
We are known for being trusted and transparent. We balance creativity with certainty. Client focused. Community focused. Outcome focused. Our work delivers real change, keeping user experience at the heart, and proudly making a difference.
