We believe that the following sustainability principles are important for the environment and they lay the foundations for good design. We use these principles as a guide when developing our designs: 1. 2. 3. Respect the site. Every site, natural or man-made is unique and connected to natural process and activities. These processes and activities impose limitations, but also offer opportunities. We evaluate each site to identify its essential character to guide us through the rest of the process. Celebrate natural patterns and processes. We look to expose the latent potential in each site and interpret natural processes. Use local materials. Where possible we use local materials which support local economies, and enhance the regional character of the project.
