Our Values
-
#1 Tread lightly
We make low embodied carbon and low energy in-use buildings that tread lightly on the earth. We measure the environmental impact of our buildings and our business activities.
-
#2 Nurture the imagination
We approach every project with an open mind and help to discover the unique solution that best suits the site, the client and the brief.
-
#3 The joy of making
Making is a pleasure. We celebrate it - paying particular attention to the materials we use, their provenance and the way they go together. Having an understanding of how to shape and use materials in their most effective way.
-
#4 Sweat the small stuff
We pay attention to the details, often going beyond our role to facilitate wider project aims and objectives. We help to navigate and secure funding, think about communications and help tell stories. The details matter.
-
#5 Don’t compromise
We don’t compromise our values. We take a leading role in making the radical change that is needed to make our built environment a force for good.
-
#6 Collaboration
Making buildings is a collaborative process - we don’t always have the answers. We create a nurturing creative process where ideas can be shared and explored together and the specialist skills and talents of individuals can be harnessed.
