City+Context

Compact, multi-centred cities are full of energy. They are also the only environmentally sustainable form of urban development for our future generations. The rational and economical way of creating human settlements that offer a high quality of life.

The question is how to build at the mass required of a city centre, and still achieve a human street scale?

RSHP’s contribution to cities is intelligent density, and architecture that is a product of its place, physically, socially and culturally. 

Our solutions enable old and new buildings to coexist gracefully. Cities are a remarkable juxtaposition of built spaces, and it is that contrast we like.
