Architecture
Creating iconic sports venues for motorsport and leisure destinations
The Driven team comprises UK RIBA registered architects and urban designers who work closely with our engineers and track designers from the outset. This collaborative working allows for the optimum balance of form and function in all our architectural sports venue designs.
Our services range from feasibility, conceptual design, site planning, building architecture, detailed design, specifications and build supervision, as well as virtual and augmented reality presentations.
We have worked on projects ranging from sports themed cafes, outdoor activity centres, major hospitality architecture and operational buildings at international sports venues.
SPORTS VENUE EXPERTS
All of our projects involve the built form, public spaces and movement of people, so understanding how this relates to major events whilst retaining an optimal day to day customer experience is crucial.
Our collaborative working environment ensures that even at a concept level, our masterplans have been designed with input from architects, engineers, motorsport specialists and urban designers. This expertise continues through to our building design, which is led by our experienced and creative architectural department whilst informed and supported by the rest of the team.
We offer a full architecture service from concept design, planning applications, building regulations, detailed architectural designs and site visits through construction, working to RIBA design stages. Using our virtual reality suite, we can walk you around a building or site design at every stage of the project, offering an unparalleled immersive experience in design communication.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, GLOBAL EXPERTISE
While Driven truly is an international company, we have our roots firmly in the UK. Based in Hook, Hampshire, we are chartered with the Royal Institute of British Architects, and are proud recipients of a Queen’s Award. We have also twice won local awards (the Inspire Business Awards 2017 and 2018) for businesses in North Hampshire.
We regularly take on UK based local work, most recently in Swindon, Wokingham, Chippenham, The Cotswolds and Birmingham, and have had other projects further afield in South Wales and Scotland. All of these involved architectural services and were able to benefit from our international experience of motorsports and leisure venues.
OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Every job we take on has a different set of requirements, and defining the project brief is a critical first step in creating a successful sports venue. We encourage round table discussions at an early stage to establish exactly what the project needs to deliver, and how this could best be addressed. Often this discussion will lead to a room area schedule and concept diagrams that form the basis of the design moving forwards.
Once the brief and concept is defined, we move into using CAD systems and BIM technology to create 3D models which are the basis of all our plans, sections and visuals. Using this technology, we are able to use virtual reality headsets to allow our clients to fully immerse themselves into the space. Using this in conjunction with physical models and hand sketches, we are able to communicate our designs in the most effective ways available. This information will be used throughout the process, leading to construction drawings and site inspections.
