Gort Scott Information

Founded in 2007 by Jay Gort and Fiona Scott, Gort Scott is a RIBA chartered architecture and urban design practice with a focus on how buildings and places create healthy environments for better connections between people, now and for the future. We are committed to reducing our industry’s contribution to the dual crises of climate and biodiversity, working collaboratively to realise clients’ ambitions for regenerative, circular, and low carbon designs. We are attuned to working and thinking at different scales, from one-off houses to planning pieces of city, drawing out social and sustainable opportunities in each. We work on commercial, education, cultural and residential buildings as well as public realm and urban masterplans. We are recognised for our urban research, which informs the practice’s design work. Gort Scott’s founding principle of making a positive, imaginative and considered contribution to the built environment has seen them design a portfolio of projects ranging from leisure, retail, education, cultural and residential buildings to urban masterplans. 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. Gort Scott is a Certified B Corporation. As a B Corp architecture practice, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
