It means reusing what we have, designing for equity and inclusion, and continually refining performance through research and craft. In doing this we create architecture that is resilient, regenerative, and deeply connected to community.
Our approach to designing sustainably addresses three key principles: circularity, carbon accountability, and community. Positive sustainable solutions must innovate through integrating all three principles and adapting for project specific conditions. Through design, research and collaboration we develop a knowledge based, best-practice approach to incorporating our core sustainable principles for each project.
Environmentally sustainable design is considered early in our design process, and the relationship between built and natural environments is a strong influence on our work. Rather than rely on templated input, our process is to understand the specific character of a site and the particulars of a brief. Understanding what we have control over, what we can influence and what we cannot means our decisions on your project are highly informed.
