We design healthy, sustainable buildings which appreciate the natural laws of building science, seeking to optimise occupancy comfort, minimise operational energy and result in an Architecture for Wellbeing.
Our knowledge of holistic and ecological building technology reflects the restoration and balance of the ‘whole’ both in terms of human and planetary health.
Our vernacular heritage offers us a record of how in the past we lived a more sustainable way of life. The character of traditional buildings offers us ecological lessons including the need for ‘buildings to breathe’ and to utilise resources on or near the site.
Culturally, the notion of ‘Wellbeing’ has recently grown in popularity as a progressive lifestyle aspiration and is widely recognised when we connect with nature. The application of ‘healthy’ building biology design principles encourages a 'sense of wellbeing' within our buildings.
