Sustainable Architecture
Sustainable architecture is an approach to designing buildings and environments that prioritize ecological balance, resource efficiency, and the well-being of occupants. It seeks to minimise the environmental impact of construction and operation while promoting energy efficiency, the use of renewable resources, and the preservation of natural habitats.
Sustainable Considerations With Exceptional Design.
Sustainability means different things to different Clients, and at Lomas and Mitchell Architects, we like to spend time understanding just how ‘green’ you want your home to be. We encourage our Clients to spend their budget on the building fabric first, which has the most impact on energy bills; then we can look at additional elements such as PV panels to generate electricity or to heat water.
As we make our homes more energy efficient and air-tight, it is vital to consider how the building fabric is performing; get it wrong, and you create problems, such as over-heating in loft conversions or damp and mould growth on walls. Lomas and Mitchell Architects don’t just want your home to look great; we want it to be energy-efficient and healthy, too.
Passive House Designer
We believe that healthy design is at the core of good design for both building and landscapes. It is important to carefully consider both how buildings are designed and the choice of materials.
Passivhaus buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort whilst using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous design and construction according to principles developed by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany.
We have undergone Passivhaus Designer training, so we understand the principles involved and we can ensure that, working with an approved assessor, your home meets those very exacting standards.
