People First
We create spaces to learn, live, work and to be together that sit in the heart of local communities. From boosting well being to attracting customers, our clients’ ambitions are different, but we always think about how the space will be used in the present and made fit for the future. We believe in creating extraordinary spaces that foster positive experiences and improve mental wellbeing, and support communities in meeting their social needs.
Our Approach
People are at the heart of our projects.
Whilst sustainability is often considered in terms of environmental impact, at Footprint we recognise that a building’s social value is a major factor to ensuring social sustainability. We strive to create environments that are both functional and inspiring, using design principles that encourage a sense of wellbeing and comfort to create people centred spaces.

Healthy Workplaces
At Footprint Architects we recognise that good office design can have a positive impact on employee wellbeing and productivity. Successful office design can provide an uplifting working environment that can effectively support workplace activities. Workplace design should spark ideas, boost productivity and promote wellbeing.

At Footprint Architects, we believe in designing schools for the future that not only inspire the next generation but also prioritise their health and well-being. Our school design ethos is centred around creating functional yet inspiring spaces. That’s why our award-winning projects strike the perfect balance between a visually stimulating environment and a practical layout that is built with wellbeing in mind.
Bournevalley Community Hub
Development An Urban Regeneration Project in The Heart of The Community
A Beacon for Urban Regeneration; Bournevalley Community Hub
The project involved the complete redevelopment of an existing youth centre site to provide new pre-school, youth centre, community group facilities, a multi-functional activity hall a café centred on local engagement. This is a deprived area of Poole that faces many generational challenges and is frequently targeted by anti-social, destructive behaviour. The goal was to provide the local community with a positive and safe space with vital services, support and facilities. Through all design stages the local community were invited to partake in design decisions where we used a range of medium to assist in the public consultations including a physical architectural model and computer-generated 3D modelling. This was important for ensuring all members of the community were engaged with the design process and aware of the positive changes being proposed within their community.
