Buttress

Buttress is a leading design studio that provides architecture, heritage consultancy, urban design, interior design, and conservation architecture.

We’re thinkers as much as makers. We believe that architecture is as much about people as buildings, and that buildings should be shaped by their surroundings, their role and the people who’ll use them.

Our first B Corp positive impact report

We can’t believe it has been a year since Buttress was certified as a B Corp.

It has certainly been a busy year, taking what we’ve learned so far and embedding that into our business and culture.

We are proud to launch our first Positive impact report as a reflection on our first year, celebrating where we are and where we are going. We’d like to share our journey and bring you with us. Think of it as part update, part talking point, and part call to action.
