sustainability through design

Sustainable Design

As a young architectural practice we are committed to using high levels of insulation, low impact building materials and renewable energy sources. This can be seen in schemes where we are experimenting with rainwater recycling, ground source heat pumps, solar panels, modern construction methods etc.

Green Register of Construction Professionals

Two of us at the practice are members of the Green Register of Construction Professionals, and whilst we do not claim to know all the answers we are fully aware of most of the problems. We do not think that a true zero carbon building is currently an achievable target, but we do strive to reduce the environmental impact of our projects and ensure that the environment is always on our design agenda.
