For
all projects we implement a responsive design approach, which results
in individual, location-specific design solutions, tailored to the
requirements and needs of the client. Each design process is guided
by its site, surroundings & orientation, along with the most
applicable methods of introducing natural light and considered framing
of views. Alternative options for each brief are considered in order
to produce solutions which are innovative, economical and sustainable.
We have experience in a wide variety of building types, including
the careful conservation of A- listed buildings, the sensitive introduction
of new elements within historic structures, and the design of new
contemporary buildings.
ICOSIS
promote an environmentally aware approach on all projects, for both
commercial and private clients. This is an integral practice philosophy,
rather than being an add-on response to the general increase in
environmental awareness and legislation. We believe that in addition
to being a responsible approach, it has many benefits for our clients
in terms of reduced waste, lower cost-in-use, design for flexibility
of use, etc. Our work with both existing and new buildings has an
emphasis on sustainable construction and the use of traditional
and natural materials. |
