See Space Differently CIC is a creative movement working across art, architecture, and community practice to transform how people understand and shape the places they live in.
It operates as a live delivery system where design practice, cultural production and community participation are integrated into one ecosystem. Rather than working in isolation, projects are developed through collaboration tested in real contexts and delivered through.
Since 2021, the CIC has supported 70+ public talks and workshops, engaged a network of 250+ creatives and organisations, and contributed to a growing portfolio of place-based, cultural and engagement-led projects.
This is not a consultancy model. It is a working civic platform built through participation, partnership and practice.
By integrating design, art, technology, and strategy, our team revitalises spaces, delivers public art, implements sustainable infrastructure, and engages communities.
How we work
A connected system of delivery, learning and participation.
CREATIVE
CONSULTANCY
Live place-based projects that move from concept into delivery
KNOWLEDGE
BANK
Shared knowledge through workshops, podcasts and toolkits
CREATIVE
NETWORK
Open network that connects people into collaboration
Together, these three pillars form a repeatable system of civic and cultural production where ideas are developed collaboratively and tested in real environments. This structure allows projects to remain grounded in place, responsive to context and shaped by multiple voices across disciplines and communities.
Partners
Delivery, design leadership and applied practice
Our partners form the core delivery backbone of See Space Differently CIC. They are embedded within live projects from concepts throught to implementation, combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
They bring expertise across architecture, branding, digital systems, sustainability, engagement and cultural production, allowing the CIC to operate as a coordinated multidisciplinary studio.
This partnership model has supported delivery across public realm work, cultural programming, installations, engagement strategies and spatial design projects in collaboration with local authorities, instituations and community partners.
Partners also contribute to mentoring and knowledge exchange, supporting emerging practitioners through Firestarters and associate pathways.

Associates
Specialist practitioners and applied expertise
Our associates are a flexible delivery network of specialist practitioners contributing expertise across projects on a needs basis. They bring skill across landscape design, fabrication, visual arts, writing, graphic design, cultural production, education and creative enterprise.
Associates are embedded directly into live project environments, contributing to workshops, co-design processes, making, storytelling and delivery. This ensures projects are shaped by the right expertise at the right time, rather than fixed internal capacity alone.
Across CIC activity, associates support engagement programmes, installations, public workshops and collaborative production processes.
