Sectors
Culture and Community
Cultural and community spaces have many forms, but are similar in their collective nature to enrich local development and social value.
From innovative new community hubs and state of the art museums to calm, comfortable spaces reimagined for local groups, at the heart of all these projects is a space that’s both fantastic and functional – no matter the size or shape.
By immersing ourselves in our client’s vision, we draw from decades of multi-sector experience to help bring to life buildings that work for all users.
We understand the importance of working closely with stakeholders, funders and community groups to ensure projects protect cultural identity whilst delivering modern functionality. With our heritage specialists, we understand the complexity and sensitivity of delivering these projects within historic or listed buildings.
We offer a wide range of services across the project lifecycle, from initial concept and helping with funding applications, through to final completion.
Museums & Heritage Centres
We have broad experience in the construction and refurbishment of new and existing Museums and Heritage Centres. Refurbishments are commonly located within buildings of historic importance and some new buildings constructed within the curtilage of same. We have extensive knowledge and understanding of the constraints that this can impose upon a proposed development. We work with a wide range of consultants, including interpretation and lighting consultants, and are adept at appreciating their requirements to ensure projects remain in budget.
Some of our recent projects have included the new Roman Villa Museum and The Story of Gardening Museum in Somerset for Emily Estate Ltd and RHS Hilltop – The Home of Gardening Science, a new ground-breaking centre for horticulture excellence at RHS Wisley.
Performing Arts
At Synergy we recognise the unusual challenges that performing arts buildings pose in terms of achieving a balance between acoustics and sustainable design. Sound-proofing considerations often necessitate heavy and sealed constructions and these are often enclosed spaces requiring energy-consuming mechanical ventilation and cooling. Synergy promotes designs that operate as passively as possible, whilst delivering the most inspirational buildings which exceed our clients’ aspirations.
Our portfolio of projects include state-of-the-art music and drama facilities at Sevenoaks School in Kent, King Edward’s School in Birmingham and numerous other school drama studios, theatres and concert halls.
Community Hubs
Cultural and community spaces have many forms, but are similar in their collective nature to enrich local development and social value.
From innovative new community hubs and state of the art centres to calm, comfortable spaces reimagined for local groups, at the heart of all these projects is a space that’s both fantastic and functional – no matter the size or shape.

Testimonials
“We have worked with Synergy over the past three years – delivering a museum in Somerset. My experience of Synergy has been nothing short of stupendous! The team work hard, deliver to deadlines, provide balanced and well-rounded cost advise (for both large strategic ideas / options as well as detailed changes / amends), but most importantly to me is the ‘part of the same team pushing in the same direction approach”
