Cultural Projects

Art Commissions & Cultural Buildings

As architects we work across the fields of architecture. We embrace each new project as an opportunity to draw on our multidisciplinary experiences — looking holistically between person and space, we turn this into strategic thinking for architectural solutions. 

Where shall we go, what shall we do, where shall we be — what is the future of our communities? It matters what they feel and look like, where they are located and how they attract people? We feel very proud to be part of the amazing range of projects and the diverse clients we have collaborated with.  When we begin an art — cultural project we ask the community what they want, success comes in the form of consultation, aspirations and ideas that fulfil stakeholders’ prospects.

Our aim is to produce designs which respond to and are enriched by understanding — everyday routines and rituals. The process of occupying space differs from person to person, through design we find opportunities that explore new notions of habitation. When working on historical and cultural buildings we carefully and classically design vibrant buildings that enable the way we exist now whilst tipping our hat to the merits of the past. ALTER intermingles historic and modern, cultivating a sensitive and playful approach to contemporary architecture. Our projects are crafted with utmost care and attention. Every detail created and made to our strict quality standards. The defined touches are what makes us stand out from the rest.
