sustainability

The design choices we make influence the greater environment in many ways. Using the life cycle assessment approach we personalise projects to support your environmental agenda.

In assessing the sustainability of materials we consider; the extraction of the raw material, its processing, manufacture and distribution, its in-use, repair and maintenance, and end of life disposal and recycling.

We select the general materials for our projects with the aim of:
  • Supporting the health of the occupants
  • Promoting performance longevity
  • Ease of future repair
  • Ease of recycling
  • Using products made in NZ

Ultimately, we consider the legacy we leave to those who inherit what we have created, and by building a little smaller we can use less, leaving more to go around.
