Relationships with people and place are at the heart of what we do
At Gresley Abas we invest in our working relationships, getting to know you and the people and communities who will enjoy the ownership of the places we grow together.
Beyond the creation of an architectural ‘object’, we are deeply interested in finding the story, culture, ethos and climate of a place. Through our commitment to this process, the quality, value and longevity of our design work are greatly enhanced; we can imbue your project with unique qualities you might not even know are there!
We are committed to building environments driven by well-being, social responsibility, sustainability and realism. In our experience, vibrant and inspired places grow when these qualities work together.
We put people first
with respect, authenticity and genuine care
We imagine boldly
using our curiosity and creativity to challenge the status quo
We step up
by doing what it takes, taking responsibility and embracing process
We come alive
by delighting in finding opportunities for inspiration and transformation beyond the obvious
We believe values are the foundations of design excellence
Our values have guided the type of projects we have pursued. Our portfolio is highly diverse, but the themes and processes remain the same. Design opportunities are discovered through our focus on people and place; and excellence is found in a committed, authentic, circular process of listening, learning, testing and re-testing, grounded in experience.
In 2023, Gresley Abas proudly achieved B Corp Certification, highlighting our commitment to sustainable, socially responsible, and innovative architectural solutions. The B Corp movement fosters positive economic change, benefiting workers, communities, clients, and the planet. By integrating cultural, environmental, and social values into our design process and business practices, we ensure our projects enhance community quality of life and respect the environment.
With an overall B Impact score of 81.7, our certification reflects our dedication to well-being, social responsibility, and sustainability. Gresley Abas is at the beginning of its B Corp journey, aiming to improve our business and work toward a future that benefits all.
“There’s two types of architect firms we deal with; the serious one where you have no real relationship but they do the job, and then the Gresley Abas type where you know that not only can they do the job but there’s a team of people who love what they do and take on the work with a greater sense of commitment”
