Architype works with our clients, through a uniquely engaging and collaborative process, to create buildings that: |
|
 |
are crafted to achieve an elegant simplicity, making them affordable and practical, robust and durable, easy to build and maintain |
|
|
radically reduce energy consumption and running costs, minimise carbon emissions and environmental impact, and are healthy for occupants |
|
|
are uplifting and enriching, celebrate their connection with the external landscape, use natural materials, and are light and airy, calm, refined and humane |
|
|
are timeless and long lasting, and being free of applied style are enriched by inhabitation and personalisation, enabling adaption and change over time |
|
By setting passivhaus, the most rigorous energy standard in Europe, as our minimum energy target dramatic reductions in energy consumption of up to 90% can be realised. Using less energy achieves direct carbon reductions and cost savings, which is more effective than offsetting carbon emissions with expensive micro-renewables. By providing an industry leading 'soft landings' service, underpinned by rigorous post occupancy evaluation, we support clients in the first two years of occupation to optimise building performance. |
