draft smart: riding together in design and life
where cycling meets architecture
Ever been in the middle of a group ride, feeling that perfect rhythm as you glide through the landscape?
There's something magical about it – the shared momentum, taking turns at the front, the trust between riders. That buzz when everyone's in sync and you're covering ground effortlessly together.
this is exactly what great architecture feels like to us.
At we are _, our story began just like one of those perfect rides. When Andrew and Jack first connected at university, they weren't just sharing design ideas – they were laying the groundwork for something that would go beyond traditional architecture.
We wanted to create a studio where relationships matter as much as blueprints.
more than just buildings
Think about your favourite group ride. It's never just about the miles covered, right? It's about the community, the shared experiences, the collective push toward something exciting.
Our approach to architecture works the same way. Every project starts with connection – getting to know you, understanding your vision, and bringing you into our creative process. We're not interested in designing at you; we want to design with you.
why we love venture racing
This is exactly why our partnership with Venture Racing clicked so naturally. They're not just another racing team – they're a community of passionate individuals pushing boundaries across different disciplines while having each other's backs.
We see ourselves in their approach: the trust in the group, the shared ambition, and (let's be honest) the post-ride coffee or beer where the real connections happen. Those moments after the finish line – laughing, sharing stories, planning the next adventure – that's where the magic really happens.
drafting together
For us, supporting venture racing isn't about slapping our logo on a jersey. It's about celebrating a shared philosophy: collaborate, push limits, and enjoy every moment of the journey.
Whether we're drafting in a peloton or sketching the next innovative space for Leeds and beyond, we believe the best experiences come from genuine relationships. The most inspiring designs, like the most memorable rides, aren't created in isolation – they're shaped by the people who journey alongside us.
So whether you're looking to reimagine your space or just fancy talking architecture over a post-ride coffee, we're here for it all.
Because at we are _, we believe in riding together and drafting smart – on the road and in design.
Join our we are _ family and let's create something extraordinary together.
