Practice

Architects who think in building science. Engineers who value design. For thirty years we’ve made performance the point of the building, then proven it delivers.

Passivhaus design, certification, thermal-bridge and PHPP consulting, training and post-occupancy monitoring, under one roof, across Ireland, the UK and the world.

One practice, the full loop.

What we do
01

Architecture

Full architectural service and masterplanning, designed to perform from the first sketch, at every scale, in every climate.

02

Consulting

The building physics that makes performance real, modelled, detailed, and independently certified at scale.

03

Learning

We trained much of the industry. Certified courses, CPD, and the ZEB Summit we founded and run.

04

Pulse

Post-occupancy monitoring that proves buildings perform, and feeds the evidence back into the next design.

Proof, not promise

Performance isn’t a claim. It’s a number.

Every practice says “sustainable.” We design to a standard you can measure, then we keep measuring after handover, from single homes to 5,500-home towns. We know what works because we measure it.
