The construction industry is responsible for 40% of gross annual carbon emissions globally so sustainability was an obvious founding principle for us. We are members of ‘Architects Declare!’, an ever-growing group of UK architects which seeks to reduce emissions within the industry.
In practice, this means that our designs must be tackled in a myriad of ways. We aim to design buildings of low embodied and operational carbon and by designing buildings and furniture with enduring quality, we reduce the requirement to replace.
We are strong proponents of both urban greening and regreening and introducing greenery where possible to improve both the biodiversity and the wellbeing of the user.
