We consider various factors in our design process, such as understanding how the orientation of your home impacts solar heat gains and how the placement and size of windows impacts the quality of natural light. These seemingly small considerations can significantly influence how you experience and use your house, ultimately leading to more comfortable homes and reduced long-term operating costs.

Here is how we apply our expertise and tools during our design process:

1. Understanding Your Surroundings (Site analysis): We carefully examine how your building interacts with its surroundings. This involves analysing the overall site layout and considering environmental factors such as daylight, sunlight, wind, and site specific weather conditions.

2. Creating a Comfortable Interior: We work on the internal layout by using simulations to find the right balance of natural light, ventilation, and humidity. This helps determine optimal design of windows and openings to ensure your space is well-lit and ventilated without resulting in uncomfortable overheating, humidity or glare.

3. Ensuring Energy Efficiency: We conduct initial studies to identify factors influencing your building's performance, such as heat loss or gain. This information guides us in making your property as energy-efficient as practically possible.

4. Harnessing Renewable Energy: Our goal is to optimise the use of renewable energy for your property. We analyse the potential output and recommend the most suitable applications to enhance energy efficiency.

Once we're confident that your building is optimized for its surroundings, we work closely with mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers to fine-tune technical details and performance specifications for your home to ensure a successful integration of the proposals.
