Buildings have an important role to play in our society and we have a duty as architects to ensure the buildings we live and work in are beautiful, healthy environments. They should lift us spiritually, physically and aesthetically. And none more so than our own homes. Our homes can be places of sanctuary, of industry, relaxation and family activity. They are private spaces and also social hubs. Places we can retreat to, share the joy of families coming together and places where we can enjoy the company of friends. Buildings that not only give us somewhere to sleep and store our belongings but that also fill us with joy and perhaps even fulfil us.

Clients who come to us value our distinctive approach and the broad scope of our expertise. Our organisation’s holistic engagement with sustainable, high quality buildings for education is founded on the belief that all teaching environments should be inspiring as well as comfortable and practical. Teaching has evolved over the years and indeed continues to do so in response to both environmental circumstances and political changes. The design of educational buildings needs to be responsive to these changes, enabling self-teaching clusters and smaller teaching groups as well as the more traditional larger class formats.

More than ever we need to consider how the buildings we create are affecting the environment. We have been involved in eco and sustainable architecture since our inception in 1994. In 2006 we constructed our first fully eco-sustainable project using a full range of eco technologies including timber frame construction and insulation created from shredded newspaper. The house featured an early version of ground source heating and had generally high levels of thermal insulation throughout. It continues today to be just as effective as it was when first built, keeping the house warmly insulated and utility bills to a minimum.

Likewise for architects the challenge of obtaining approval from a local authority for one of these schemes is not only a test of ones design ability but also of mastering the sustainable technology available in both construction and renewable energy generation.
