Our Philosophy
Architecture should make a positive contribution on future generations’ ability to sustain themselves.
We have driven the sustainability agenda forward in all our design work since our founding in 2011. Today, our designs can sequester more carbon than is released during construction, and can generate as much energy as they require, leaving you with a building that makes a positive contribution to the built environment while reducing it’s carbon footprint.
Focus Project
Craigberoch Business Decelerator
Craigberoch farmstead built in 1753 located near Craigberoch Wood on the Isle of Bute has been selected as the ideal location for this innovative project. Having lain derelict for many years, this proposal will refurbish the holdings and retain much of the remaining structure of the historical site.
The client for this project seeks to re-use the existing farmstead and surrounding land as accommodation for a business decelerator. This creative retreat will provide a place to nurture and develop creativity and innovation.
