Relationships with people and place are at the heart of what we do
At Gresley Abas we invest in our working relationships, getting to know you and the people and communities who will enjoy the ownership of the places we grow together.
Beyond the creation of an architectural ‘object’, we are deeply interested in finding the story, culture, ethos and climate of a place. Through our commitment to this process, the quality, value and longevity of our design work are greatly enhanced; we can imbue your project with unique qualities you might not even know are there!
We are committed to building environments driven by well-being, social responsibility, sustainability and realism. In our experience, vibrant and inspired places grow when these qualities work together.
We put people first
with respect, authenticity and genuine care
We imagine boldly
using our curiosity and creativity to challenge the status quo
We step up
by doing what it takes, taking responsibility and embracing process
We come alive
by delighting in finding opportunities for inspiration and transformation beyond the obvious
We believe values are the foundations of design excellence
We pursue projects that align with our values and purpose. While our portfolio is diverse, our process is consistent — design excellence emerges through an authentic cycle of listening, learning, testing, and refining, grounded in experience.
In 2023, Gresley Abas proudly achieved B Corp Certification, recognising our commitment to sustainable, socially responsible, and innovative architectural practice. The B Corp movement continues to inspire us through its focus on creating positive outcomes for people, communities, clients, and the planet.
These principles have always been the foundation of our practice. In 2025 and beyond, we continue to evolve the tools and strategies that help us deliver projects of enduring social and environmental value.
“There’s two types of architect firms we deal with; the serious one where you have no real relationship but they do the job, and then the Gresley Abas type where you know that not only can they do the job but there’s a team of people who love what they do and take on the work with a greater sense of commitment”
