...creating memorable places
urban
design
We believe urbanism is the ordering of our societal chaos into an efficient coherent system. We plan for compact efficient cities, for successful mixed uses and for legible, robust and safe communities.
​
Urbanism is concerned with how we as a society organise and plan our lives within the practical constraints of the high density of our settlements. It is unravelling the puzzle of how a population settled in a geographical point and how it can be sustained through future growth.
We at Robinson CLA believe that urban design is the craft of ordering our manmade societal maelstrom into an efficient coherent system, providing a mechanism for a population to function and flourish successfully.

urban
design
We seek to achieve a balance between the commercial drivers of real estate with the need for genuine sustainable urban growth, using a rational approach to the relationships between living space, working space, trading space and recreational space and how we transit between them.
We plan for compact and efficient cities, we plan for successful mixed use development, we plan for congruent, legible, robust and safe public realm.
Its user should readily understand a city. A city should be legible to the extent that one can navigate to its heart and core activities by landmarks and main arterial circulation routes.

design
We seek to reinforce legibility by defining and highlighting the two defining principle criteria, the journey and the destination.
We recognise that like any productive system, efficient movement flows are all important yet must also add value rather than detract value from the spaces adjacent.
Robinson CLA adopts a pragmatic and integrated design approach to balancing the connections between the different planning uses and understanding the prevailing economic commercial driving forces.

Robinson CLA can play a key role both to develop an efficient and interconnected urban structure through creative urban design. We seek to convert the concept into realityusing our ethos for creating memorable places-the crafting of sense of place with detail, character and identity.
