We're not just designing buildings—we're shaping a future where architecture actually gives back to the planet. Every project we touch is measured, tracked, and held accountable.
Look, we're not perfect, but we track everything. Here's where we stand as of October 2025—real numbers from real projects.

We've chased these down because they actually push us to do better work. It's not just about hanging plaques on the wall.

Every roof we design gets analyzed for solar potential. We're averaging 40% on-site energy generation across our portfolio.
Cross-ventilation isn't old-fashioned, it's smart. We model airflow in every project to reduce mechanical cooling loads.
We source within 800km whenever possible. Less transport, smaller carbon footprint, and honestly, better quality control.
Capture, filter, reuse. We've designed systems that cut municipal water use by up to 55% for landscape irrigation.
Concrete and masonry aren't just structural—they're thermal batteries that stabilize interior temps year-round.
The greenest building is the one already standing. We've transformed six heritage structures instead of demolishing them.
We've gotten really picky about what goes into our buildings. Not in a snobby way—more like we've seen what works and what's just greenwashing.
These percentages reflect our 2024-2025 project portfolio. Yeah, we're tracking this stuff obsessively.
Honesty time—sustainability in architecture is evolving fast, and we don't have all the answers. Here's what keeps us up at night and what we're actively working on.
We're getting better at calculating the carbon footprint of materials before they even arrive on site. Still a work in progress, especially for complex assemblies.
We model everything, but how buildings actually perform after people move in? That's where we're adding post-occupancy monitoring to close the loop.
Green building costs more upfront—that's just reality. We're working on strategies to make payback periods clearer and more predictable for clients.
We publish an annual sustainability report with full transparency—the good, the bad, and the "we're working on it." You can also see our methodology for how we calculate all these metrics.
If you're thinking about a sustainable project, let's talk specifics. We love getting into the weeds about thermal bridging, daylighting calculations, and material life cycle assessments. Seriously, we're nerdy about this stuff.
