Simon Watkins and Kate Spence formed HUB in October 2006. As a partnership, we share a broad knowledge and experience of design and building, allowing our approach to be creative and inventive.

In setting up a new practice, we aim to discover the full potential of all our projects. We know that each project will involve, the dreams and ambitions of the client, the physical and practical constraints of the building, the valuable input of everyone involved in the construction process & thousands of questions and decisions.

We aim to shape and understand our clients’ dreams, to analyse and rationalise the constraints, to investigate and solve problems, to be open and responsive, to aid the communication and effective co-operation of all parties involved with a project & to keep an open dialogue with the client keeping their goals at the centre of all we do. At the end of a project, we like to think that we have found solutions, added value, not missed opportunities, communicated effectively, behaved in a fair and ethical fashion & built a great building.
