Wheels of motion

Our love for what we do extends far beyond our studio. We immerse ourselves in a world that celebrates experiences, connects people and delivers exceptional environments. It is the stuff that makes us tick. Our passion to learn and better understand the process of creativity and invention takes us to incredibly exciting places around the UK and beyond.

After completing the incredible Bowline project for Scottish Canals, our love of steam-powered trains and the heritage of this mode of transport was peaked, when we heard about a new visitor attraction, that recently opened in Shildon, County Durham.

Locomotion, is a purpose-built heritage centre, part of a multi-million-pound programme of investment, improvement and change that is creating new buildings, galleries, visitor attractions, outdoor spaces and vital conservation work. The attention to detail in this build is fantastic and the designers have created a space to showcase the largest undercover collection of historic railway vehicles in Europe.

A truly fantastic visit and the site is still evolving. If you are in the area, take a detour and pop in.
