ARCHITECTON

The practice works with a diverse range of building types including schools, visitor centres, private and public housing, churches, libraries, museums and offices.We design the working parts of a building from first principles, with comprehensive and practical approaches to environmental services and energy conservation. There is emphasis on the use of simple natural processes, such as passive solar gain, daylight, high levels of insulation, and logical design.As continuing connections with our social and architectural past, we see old buildings as important and sustainable catalysts for new development, where sensitive repair can revitalise the quality and significance of historic sites.Architecton undertakes to design within a collaborative, inclusive process, with clients and the wider community. Discussion and involvement are generated by drawings and models to develop appropriate and purposeful designs.Architecton provide all the services to carry buildings from brief and analysis, through design to working drawings and fruition on site.
