Imagination is vital to the success of each project, no matter how large or small. We believe that it is this creative ability that enables us to look beyond established practices to find new and better solutions. This might involve developing an innovative approach to project funding, or applying creative new techniques to solve recurring challenges. It might mean looking beyond the scope of the project to make recommendations for more sustainable and cost-effective long-range solutions. The result is a balance between the aesthetic and the practical, the creative and the functional.
Increasingly, sustainable design features are incorporated into new and existing buildings. Some of these sustainable features include:
Building orientation and layout
Programming and space planning
Reduction of building footprint
Materials selection
Green roof design
Building envelope efficiency
Daylighting
Passive solar
Right-sizing building systems
High-efficiency HVAC systems
Grey water systems
Renewable power systems
Construction waste management
