Environment - Walking the talk
On Our Plans
Passive Solar & Sustainable Design
Every home we design incorporates passive solar principles. This includes strategic north-facing orientation for living areas, ample shading for windows and doors, use of thermal mass, quality wall and ceiling insulation, and minimal external hard landscaping.
​
Tree Retention and Planting
Where possible, we retain existing trees on our projects. When retention isn’t feasible, we encourage clients to replant with native species or replace trees on a like-for-like basis.
​
Environmentally Conscious Specifications
Our standard specification documents include environmentally considered products to ensure sustainability is embedded in every build.
