Environment
The world faces the huge challenges of climate change and diminishing resources. Driving change is a responsibility that we take seriously; aiming for zero carbon buildings, advancing timber construction and using digital tools to enhance sustainable design. By rethinking resource efficiencies, using materials with a low environmental impact and taking advantage of natural ecosystems, we design buildings and public realm that ensures comfort and promotes wellbeing for people, while strengthening the living world around us.
