Integral to our design methodology is a focus on how we can contribute positively to our living and natural environment and minimise the negative environmental impact our work may cause. We recognise that sustainability initiatives must be embedded in the design process and their implementation carried through the all phases of a project from demolition to construction and ultimately to the on-going functionality of a building.

Sustainability is inherent to good design and good business. It’s not just an option, a differentiator or a marketing tool. At a global scale it is also, by definition, non-negotiable.

We advocate passive thermal efficiency through clever construction techniques and sensible planning. We aim to keep mechanical systems for energy and thermal control simple and to be manually operated when possible to minimise ongoing maintenance costs and encourage user engagement with their environment.
