Employee Ownership Trust

This milestone marks an exciting new chapter in our practice. By moving to employee ownership, we’re ensuring that the people who contribute to our success have a direct stake in our future. Every team member now has a shared interest in the long-term sustainability, creativity, and quality that define our work.

What does this mean?
An EOT is a business ownership model where the shares are held in trust on behalf of all employees. The entire team collectively benefits from the success and growth of the practice.

Why have we done this?
Architecture is a profession built on collaboration, shared creativity, and mutual trust. By becoming employee-owned, we’re aligning the way our business is structured with the way we already work:

What stays the same?
Everything that defines Offset Architects: our commitment to design excellence, our careful attention to context and detail, and our open, collaborative way of working.

• Protecting our independence: We remain in control of our future, free to focus on the projects and partnerships that reflect our vision.
• Rewarding our people: Every member of Offset Architects will share in the rewards of our success.
• Ensuring continuity: Our clients can be confident that the same team, the same approach, and the same values will guide our work for decades to come.

What changes?
Behind the scenes, our team members now have an even greater voice in shaping the future of the practice. This shared responsibility fosters a stronger culture of innovation, accountability, and pride in the work we deliver.

We believe the best architecture comes from a team that is invested not just in the project at hand, but in the success of the practice as a whole. Becoming an Employee Ownership Trust is our way of making that investment permanent for our people, our clients, and the communities we serve.
