We seek solutions that find an optimum balance
between environmental impact, social benefit and financial return
both for the client and the community. We consider social
engineering a vital part of sustainability, and traditionally have
invited stakeholder groups to contribute their knowledge of the
culture and history of a location towards a more whole vision of
what a place could become.
We aim for a comprehensive understanding of the climatic
interaction between landscape, building form and structural
materials. In our work, we always look to explore the opportunity
offered by the interaction between climate and structure rather
than just approaching it as a problem to be resolved. The result is
designs that are influenced through an awareness of natural forces
such as light, heat, sound and air movement; a natural architecture
of sustainability.
