Environmental Ethos

The building industry consumes a sizable proportion of our material and energy resources.

The construction of each new building establishes an energy requirement for the extended lifecycle of the building. Clients, architects and communities have an obligation to consider the ongoing environmental foot print and lifecycle they are establishing.

Guy Herschell Architects believe in creating environmentally meaningful architectural solutions. Buildings that are cared about endure. Buildings which are derived from their surroundings and are sensitive to the environment return greater value, last longer, foster increased productivity and are enjoyed by the people who inhabit them.

Sustainability is not simply about conservation, energy and technology but also about strengthening human relationships and building local resilience.
