design / architecture

“Every design problem begins with an effort to achieve fitness between two entities: the form in question and its context. The form is the solution to the problem; the context defines the problem. In other words, when we speak of design, the real object of discussion is not the form alone, but the ensemble comprising the form and its context.“

Christopher Alexander, Notes on the Synthesis of Form

Mr Alexander was talking about architecture, not software, but the same principles apply to any craft. The context is gained first and foremost through understanding your business needs.

Pre built products, platforms or existing legacy systems may be available, or we may help with create solutions from scratch to ultimately provide the form of a solution.

Practiv build successful, fit for purpose solutions by engaging fully with the business context in order to create solutions which truly meet our clients’ needs.

We promise you a commercially sound, rewarding and fun collaborate approach which marries the technical design process with the business context that surrounds it.
