NORD deliver award-winning architecture and commissioned research into the built environment whilst also engaging with the world out with their discipline. The practice takes great inspiration from the UK’s legacy of ‘making things’. This understanding and passion for materials, technological innovation, for detail, craftsmanship, texture and pattern underpins their work. NORD are often provoked and inspired by social and cultural issues, allowing a response in form and materiality. This has led to the development of a series of buildings, places, products and objects, which respond to contemporary needs but celebrate the British tradition of craftsmanship and love of materials.
