About Us
We are an award-winning multi-disciplinary professional practice offering an integrated range of services with specialist expertise embracing architecture, masterplanning, planning, landscape architecture and ecology.
We take an intensely client-focused approach to our work and have been very successful at creating and releasing value for our clients, often in difficult, challenging circumstances. Each project, regardless of scale, is led by a partner who remains the key client contact until completion.
Since 1983 we have applied our specialist and multi-disciplinary skills to over 1100 completed projects, from the very large to the very small, across a wide range of sectors and for both private and public sector clients.
Recurring themes in our work are sustainable development, client and community engagement, responding to the natural environment through the regeneration of sensitive sites and the integration of contemporary design within existing cultural and natural heritage.
At Cass Associates we strive to create communities, environments and buildings that enhance people’s lives and provide lasting value for our clients.

Sustainability
Sustainability is central to our thinking and our practice.
Sustainability is about having confidence in the future and to be successful requires joined up thinking that sometimes cuts across traditional professional and technical boundaries. Our projects provide clear evidence of how this can be achieved. We practice what we preach and have created our Sustainability Policy and Carbon Report as a working document to audit our own environmental impact on an annual basis.
