Too many people chase the shiny project. The glass, the concrete, the yield, the ribbon-cutting.
Not us.
For us, it was never really about the buildings.
About Loxie.
Based in North-West England, we work across NHS, local government and development systems where ambition is high and delivery is complex.
We're a front-end infrastructure clarity practice - which means we get involved before the brief is fixed, before procurement begins, and before the decisions that are hardest to reverse get made.
For capital and estates programmes, that's typically RIBA Stages 0–1, before architects and technical advisers arrive. For system and place strategy, it's before the business case, before procurement, and before delivery momentum starts to drift.
We don't produce hundred-page reports that sit on a shelf. We work alongside your teams at the exact point where things are still flexible - because that's when independence can actually protect a project, not just comment on it afterwards.
Our role is simple: ensure that what gets designed is something the system is actually ready to deliver.
One vision.
Two perspectives.
Founded in 2023 by Emma Ingham and Christine Winstanley - Loxie emerged from over 15 years of working together to shape health infrastructure.
Between us, we've navigated multi-million-pound NHS transformations, led health developments, shaped health-led regeneration, and been part of designing local partnerships that bridge health and place.
