Environment

We encourage a holistic approach both to social and technical sustainability in all of our projects.

Schemes should be conceived and designed to respond to existing settlements and infrastructure, and to their site’s fundamental characteristics. A proper response to considered ‘site analysis’ usually results in a robust underlying concept. Buildings’ construction and usage post completion should aspire to carbon neutrality.

We work with leading environmental engineers to design low energy systems and we take great care in the specification and sourcing of materials and component parts, trying wherever possible to limit the embodied energy in a structure.
