EXPERTISE
High-performance Buildings
Our Company Director and Senior Architect, Paul Barnett is a certified Passive House Designer with the Passivhaus Institute based in Germany. Passivhaus is a registered and certifiable system of building construction with particular defined performance criteria.
Naturescapes
The beautiful thing about emerging natural biomimicry landscapes is that they just get better and better as plants mature, moss grows, animal and insect life move in, more mobile birdlife appears, and the natural rhythms of growth and decay harmonise. That’s what we are creating!
Living Pods (Housing)
The diversity of social patterns requires a response that caters for this diversity and one possible solution is what we call the “Living Pod” design. The aesthetic is natural, organic and beautiful and enables all aspects of the community to function.
