All the architects in the office take a keen interest in green architecture, sometimes in close collaboration with specialists, and sustainable design is integrated into all projects.
Our designs incorporate low cost passive measures such as optimising building orientation and location as well as its flexibility, form, structure and exposure. Since typically a third of energy consumption in non-domestic buildings is used for artificial lighting, a good daylight design maximising the existing site area can potentially save energy use by up to 70%.
In addition active measures, such as solar hot water heating, ground-source heat pumps and biomass boilers, are used together with appropriate materials to limit the energy required to construct and run the buildings.
