About Us

designe ltd is based in the North East of England and is one of seven not-for-profit organisations that support local authorities, public sector bodies, councillors, and developers to design high quality and more sustainable places. We do this by offering independent, impartial and objective advice during the project feasibility and design stages of a proposed development. There are several ways we can work with you to assist delivering high quality and sustainable places:

Design Review

Building for a Healthy Life (BHL)

Training and CPD

Design Code Support

Project Facilitation and Enabling

“We aim to act as a ‘critical friend’ to

support stakeholders review strategic

and tactical matters relating to the built

environment and project viability.”

The Design Network

The Design Network is the national body for design excellence. Place-based and not-for-profit, the Network supports design-led placemaking for the benefit of people, prosperity and planet through its six regional organisations.
