Good buildings address all aspects of the art and science of architecture; functional performance, financial viability, maintenance liability and life cycle costing, environmental responsibility, spatial quality and aesthetics.
The achievement of some of these essentials at the expense of others will not constitute either good architecture or full service to client and building users.
This has formed the basic criteria which has directed the work of Todd Architects since inception of the practice in 1976.
To achieve these comprehensive targets the practice structure has been developed to give a clear hierarchy ranging from architectural technician, through project architects and associates, to directors, all supported by a full compliment of management staff and administration staff.
Acknowledging the need to offer clients an appropriately informed skills base, this structure is further strengthened through the organisation of technical staff into project teams covering the commercial, healthcare, education and residential sectors.
A further "Green Team" of individuals from within these teams assimilates and disseminates knowledge on all aspects of sustainability and low energy design.
Todd Architects has always recognised the vital importance of involving young architectural input in the design process but with the necessary balance of the inclusion of experience.
As a consequence that broad range of experience is always made available throughout all stages of any commission via project technical and design audits which form the essence of our quality control systems.
In addition to its core disciplines of architecture and project management the company offers a planning, urban design and masterplanning services through TODD Planning and space planning and interior design through TODD Interiors.
