A holistic approach to sustainability

Gareth Hoskins Architects believes that good design should be inherently sustainable. The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland’s Environmental Policy describes this as “maximum architectural value: minimum environmental harm”. Economic, social and environmental sustainability are key drivers in developing our designs. We eschew unnecessary technological fixes in favour of eco-minimalist solutions which work socially and financially.

Buildings are a major source of energy demand and produce signifcant levels of greenhouse gas emissions. We are therefore a signatory to the Architecture 2030 goals aiming for zero carbon building by 2030 and maintain ISO14001 accreditation to independently certify our environmental performance.
