Biodiversity & Ecology
How our buildings interact with the natural world is key to minimising the environmental impact.

We strive to minimise our energy use and operational carbon in our day-to-day business. Minimising paper use, travel and energy use are all considered.

Our Core Values
What our Clients Say
They have exceeded our expectations and delivered a home that delights and serves us every day. From the initial brief through to the final completion, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident at every stage. They took the time to fully understand our needs, preferences and aspirations, as well as our experience and technical input, to achieve a practical and innovative solution.
Drs Frank Ainscow and Kerry Mashford, OBE
Anchorage Passivhaus, Wyre Piddle
They have been a brilliant combination of excellent design and technical knowhow but most of all they have been a big support. Tom understood exactly what we were trying to achieve aesthetically and Tim makes sure the technical and passive house elements work. I can’t overstate how valuable it is to have this kind of support join us for the roller coaster ride.
Karen and Tony Nagel
Knossington Passivhaus, Braunston
The finished result is absolutely beautiful, better than we could ever have hoped for and we are constantly being showered with compliments about our beautiful new working space.
The team's attention to detail, dedication and professionalism was exemplary. Everything was delivered on budget, on time, and in a super orderly way.
