Eco Design Consultants UK

Within the same category as sustainable architecture, ecologically sound design and building strategies are becoming commonplace thinking in the architectural world. Encompassing an holistic but realistic vision, the special focus of eco design has always been on the use of local, natural, non-toxic and recycled materials - depending on the geography of a location, building materials might include such products as stone, clay, sand, straw, reeds, thatch, compressed earth, fleece, bottles and car tyres to name just a few. 

Eco Design as a concept has been born out of a concern amongst many practioners in the architecture, design and engineering professions for the rapidly degrading natural environment and widening social inequalities.  The trend toward more eco-friendly design has created a need for companies like Space Solutions to engage in a deeper understanding of the environmental impact of the work carried out on behalf of clients. This might mean, for example, taking account of the need for a building site to be managed in an environmentally responsible way and for the buildings themselves to provide a healthy place to live or work.  This is the challenge for eco design consultants.  UK professionals in the field of architecture are constantly seeking ways to respond to the challenge, creating solutions that both please the aspirations of clients, and answer the need for innovative design and construction that will not unnecessarily use up natural resources, and that will allow appropriate management of existing buildings so that scarce resources are used sensibly.

This is not only true of new buildings; at Space Solutions, we are aware of the need to use the same "eco" approach to our work, from conservation architecture to new builds and commercial workspace design.  A building's life cycle needs to be looked at from the viewpoint of its environmental quality, its functional suitability and the demands that the future may place on it.

We have a genuine and lasting commitment to improving the built environment.  Exceptional client service also means guiding and advising where necessary so that all requirements are met; especially those pertaining to the effective use of materials and efficiencies of use once a workspace or building is ready for occupation. Eco concerns are not new - they have been evident in all walks of life, but we are naturally paying even more attention to such issues as energy usage, recyclability and/or renewability of materials and of course, pollution. 

These issues affect us all; Space Solutions as a company is dedicated to encouraging lateral thinking that will provide lasting and effective solutions to the environmental challenges of the today's world.
