Sustainability


We are committed to finding solutions that look beyond a design brief and address the greater good of our planet.

Sustainability underpins all of our work. We use natural, low carbon and - where possible - locally sourced materials to create buildings which are energy efficient, healthy, and will age gracefully to be enjoyed for generations to come.

We can help you find sustainable solutions that fit your budget, that won’t cost the earth to build or maintain, and are appropriate for your project.

We have experience with the following sustainable solutions, and are always keen to discuss new ideas:

  • Off-grid living

  • Natural (and alternative) building materials – such as strawbale, hemp, local timber and rammed earth

  • Solar collectors, PVs, batteries, wind turbines, air source heat pumps, earth composting systems and rainwater harvesting

  • Providing detailed carbon calculations
