Sustainable design is at the heart of our practice philosophy. Both partners are experienced in environmentally aware design and welcome the challenges that are often found in implimenting such an approach.
A successful strategy should not depend on a wide range of technological solutions, nor should an overly dogmatic approach compromise the design of elegant and useful buildings.
We offer a full range of architectural services from feasibility and building design to consultancy services in sustainable energy solutions.
.
Sustainable design starts with the basic shape, location and use of a building. Employing compact building forms for instance reduces material use and heat loss. Passive solar spaces should be integral to any design strategy.
.
The careful use of building materials is important to reduce enviornmental impact and also to promote healthy internal environments. We use where appropriate, reclaimed and low impact materials and construction systems.
.
Low energy buildings are becoming more common. We design robust low energy solutions tailored to the design and location of the building. We have experience in the specification of renewable energy sources
