What guides the plan
Design first. Reduce demand.
Shade, water and materials are masterplanning decisions. Site studies will test our approach and establish performance targets.
- Shade and comfort: Overhangs, screens and orientation considered before mechanical cooling.
- Water stewardship: Capture, drainage and reuse assessed against local rainfall and hydrology.
- Material choices: Durability, repairability and responsible sourcing inform procurement.
- Long-term care: Maintenance and efficient services planned alongside construction.
Understand the site
Ecology, communities, climate and water guide the starting point.
