We will:

• respect, and where possible enhance, the biodiversity of existing sites
• draw on landscape and history to create an architecture which is strongly rooted in context, both
  physical and cultural
• create communities which will appeal to young and old alike; where people grow up, have a
  family and grow old
• use materials and construction processes which are kind to the environment
• design buildings which provide healthy environments for their inhabitants and are efficient to run
• encourage sustainable lifestyles and a strong sense of community
• conceive our projects within the context of community-wide initiatives from sourcing local food to
  sustainable means of transport
• build intelligent homes that are affordable
• make places which are a pleasure to live in and a joy to behold
