2019 OUR PHILOSOPHY

Making buildings environmentally sustainable and economically viable has always been a challenge for designers. However, client and public perception of the value of effective sustainable design has changed dramatically. Technological innovations and wider understanding of efficient systems have meant that this challenge has become considerably more achievable. A fundamental approach at Chapman Taylor has always been about creating the right urban framework and mix of uses that are the foundation of economically, environmentally and socially sustainable places for living. As creative and sustainability-conscious designers, we have an underlying objective to maximise the potential of any scheme, whilst striving to minimise its environmental impact. Understanding the guiding principles of good design is at the heart of our approach. This booklet sets out some of these principles as a starting point and can be used as a catalyst for further research. URBAN DESIG N
