Gort Scott was set up to make a positive, imaginative and considered contribution to cities, at all scales of engagement. The design ethos is entirely focused on quality place making by negotiating a range of users and often complex needs. Our experienced team, brought together through a shared passion for the dynamism of cities, is engaged in and excited by the full spectrum of concerns – interactions of economics, social dynamics, and politics. 

Gort Scott’s work draws on a commitment to direct relationships with clients and in depth consultation to draw value from existing contexts and create innovative design solutions. Their experience of the planning process and informed use of technology and materials has led to repeat commissions from clients and their designs winning numerous competitions.
