regenerative & sustainable
Our extensive experience with regenerative design strategies, our knowledge of green building rating systems, materials and construction, and our commitment to ongoing research based and pragmatic solutions ensure that our projects minimize the impact on Earth's finite resources and achieve the highest level of sustainability possible within overall project goals and financial resources available.
Initial capital costs, life cycle costing, long-term maintenance and operating costs are all considered in the decision-making process. Our experience proves that with exceptional design, vision and commitment, true innovation can occur and does not necessarily result in extra costs.
Many of our clients, though committed to regenerative approaches, are unable to commit to working towards official certification, as it usually requires additional costs associated with energy modelling, commissioning, contractor education, documentation, submission fees, etc. Adopting alternative standards and less prescriptive strategies for developing sustainable buildings have proven to be effective.
