Environmental performance is considered from the early stages of design rather than treated as a separate addition.

We examine how building orientation, shading, daylight, ventilation, materials and landscape can improve comfort and reduce unnecessary energy demand.

​The specific environmental strategies will depend on the project location, use, budget and technical requirements.

​

Our approach may consider:

• Building orientation

• Natural ventilation

• Daylight

• Solar shading

• Heat-gain reduction

• Rainwater management

• Material selection

• Landscape integration

• Indoor environmental comfort

• Efficient organisation of spaces
