Building lighter
How we keep the carbon, the heating bills and the skip loads down on every project.
Less concrete, less heating, less waste
Timber frames where they work
Lighter foundations, a dry site and a faster build
Most new houses
Keep what is already there
We survey what can stay before we draw anything new
Every project
Heat loss before heat pumps
Heating sized from a room-by-room heat-loss calculation
Stage 4
Daylight first
Window sizes checked on the model before the elevations are drawn
Stage 2
How we work
One architect from start to finish
The person at the first visit draws it and sees it built
Every project
Every drawing checked twice
A second architect reads it before it leaves the studio
Drawn and Checked
A cost check before planning
So you do not pay for drawings you cannot afford to build
End of stage 2
Site visits every week or two
With a written note to you and the builder after each visit
Stage 6
Send us the address and an idea
Tell us where the site is and what you would like to build. We reply within three working days and offer a first site visit: two hours with the architect who would draw your project.
