Design Objectives 

  

The aim of the design service is to produce work of  high aesthetic value which is functional, affordable and sustainable.

    

The needs and wishes of clients are carefully incorporated into the design solution and unusual building requirements or planning constraints are always looked upon as opportunities for lateral thinking and the application of non-mainstream ideas.

 

A holistic approach to human ecology is adopted in all design work, integrating ideas and practice relating to the provision of a healthy living environment, use of land, energy conservation, reducing waste and using renewable, recycled and recyclable materials.
