    Urban Design
    Urban Design within KSA focuses on one main driving theme – the art of place making. Whether it’s dealing with the massing of individual buildings, the grouping of buildings or the treatment of spaces between buildings, our Urban Designers strive to ensure that design is integrated throughout the evolution of a project. At project inception stage detailed dialogues are undertaken with the customer, in order to gain valuable information such as how an existing area functions, its needs and possibilities. This knowledge ensures that the combined efforts of key sectors of the community inform our urban design work with one common goal in mind – to improve the quality of life for those who live, work and visit the area.


    Urban Design within KSA is not the ownership of one specialist group. Whilst spear-headed by our Urban Design Section, every urban design project undertaken by KSA involves joint-working between the full range of professional departments within the company including Planning, Conservation, Architecture and Landscape with a common goal to produce a multilayered unified product to which all are committed. Whilst specifically trained in the field of urban design, our urban designers also benefit from having specialist qualifications in other related fields such as Planning, Architecture and Transportation all of which adds value to KSA’s collaborative approach to urban design.
