Sustainability & Building Performance

Shaping the future of communities

Our communities are encountering crucial challenges in advocating sustainability. Even with the advancements of climate change, pollution of the biosphere and oceans, there’s still an opportunity for positive change. The use of innovative technologies, ecosystem rejuvenation, and holistic, unified planning by community leaders—that’s how we can work to transform the future of our communities.

We have faith in sustainable designs to go beyond, helping clients realise the full potential of projects in terms of life cycle costs, energy efficiency, and carbon reduction while enhancing human health and wellness. We use informed research to design holistically, minimising ecological impact and resource waste and optimising community health.

A world-first timber design

We’ve joined forces with LCI to deliver Atlassian’s world-first tallest hybrid timber building development in Sydney, New South Wales. Working cohesively, our team will support the building's goal of achieving 50 percent reduction in integrated carbon and energy, as related to traditional construction. Furthermore, the organisation will be operating on 100 percent renewable power with zero emissions and include sustainability features such as energy-efficient designs, planted terraces, and natural ventilation.

The Barrack Place design supports the health and wellbeing of occupants through a strong commitment to sustainability. Awarded a platinum rating by the International WELL Building Institute, the structure was recognised for its design performance, construction, operation, and—most importantly—its focus on sustaining occupant comfort. Our team is proud to have incorporated innovative solutions and improvements in construction and materiality that helped achieve a 6 Star rated outcome. Read More
