Sustainable architects
As sustainable architects, we take a holistic view of our work, in the context of the individuals who commission us, their communities and the bigger picture or global climate and social justice. We have pledged to make beautiful and responsible work.
In 2019, we signed up to Architects Declare, a rallying cry from architects far and wide to think and work more sustainably, and Alasdair joined the steering group. We used their 10 manifesto points as a routemap to learning and focussing on important aspects of sustainable architecture.
We have embraced measuring operational and embodied carbon on projects. In 2024 we delivered our first deep retrofit project. Jenny Gnadl, Architect and Passive house designer joined our team ( Meet Jenny Gnadl), increasing our understanding of high performance buildings. We continue to engage with our industry peers to share our successes, our learnings and our knowledge and we continue to pursue knowledge and understanding, and bring our clients and consultants on our journey with us.
Our mission is to create both responsible and beautiful architecture. This means considering the impact of everything we do. More and more, we go beyond sustainability and look towards regenerative design. We want to design to not only do no harm, but to promote better design for the future.
