About Us

Founded in 2009, Double is a design business working with international clients to design, engineer and build retail and commercial environments that express brand values within a physical space. We exist to shape the future of the design and build industry, to ensure we all thrive and grow while taking responsibility for the social and environmental impact of our work. We strive for a future where each and every newly built environment has a positive purpose at its core, where environmental impact is lowered or regenerative, and its very existence must create benefit beyond financial profit alone.

The commercial design industry can be enormously wasteful. The burden on the environment through the extraction and use of materials, manufacturing processes and throw-away culture needs to be improved. Our ultimate goal is to change our industry to one that chooses a circular design path for all its design and build projects. Through our design and operational processes, we aim to widen the lens through which brands, retailers and suppliers to the industry perceive the impact of the design and build process.

Working with trust, mutual respect and freedom, our self-managing team have the power to positively evolve the business together. By recognising that our strength and future sustainability will come from developing our individual skills and taking time to educate others, we help influence and effect change across our business and our industry.

Through the collective awareness of our team, we have made a conscious decision to commit our business to social and environmental measures. All of our energy now comes from renewable sources, we set annual energy reduction targets and have moved all of our office supplies to responsible suppliers. We are committed to ensuring the profit we make is fair for both our business and our wider community of stakeholders. We commit to giving a portion of our time and revenue to charitable causes and any investments we make are done so consciously, to provide improvements in our business footprint.

We are by no means perfect, but we strongly believe in doing our part for our planet, our people and to use our business to affect positive change.
