Green design and low energy use are at the heart of our approach and we have a design philosophy where sustainability is intrinsic from the site layout to the details. We design holistically, balancing your needs, use, budgets, environment and sustainability. Our low-energy retrofits help make existing buildings more comfortable, improve well-being and reduce energy use without sacrificing good design.
We design buildings for sensitive and difficult sites while incorporating features to radically reduce energy use and carbon emissions. Our commercial portfolio ranges from new-build office and industrial buildings to interior fit-outs, co-working spaces, restaurants and cinemas. Our residential designs include low-energy homes on sensitive urban and rural sites, large extensions and reconfigurations of existing homes.
We creatively optimise the potential of the existing structures for owners and occupiers while improving comfort and making the most of retained features. We specialise in designing refurbishment and retrofits of existing buildings for low energy use, low running costs and low carbon emissions.
