We specialize in the design of simple, elegant, cost-effective systems for critical and high performance building environments. We provide comprehensive analyses that help prioritize their energy saving potential and carbon reduction effect. Our integrated approach to building systems design allows us to enhance opportunities that nature provides, working in harmony with a building's environment to reduce its reliance on outside energy sources.

Originating from the UK, Stuart has gained high-level global experience from his involvement in world-class manufacturing facilities in Europe and the Far East. Working on such complex projects has given him an in-depth understanding of the integration of engineering and architectural systems, which is essential to delivering high performance design solutions. His passion for sustainability began during his academic years in Europe, where the discipline is further developed. He is proactive in following sustainability practices across the world to seek out progressive technologies and strategies that he can incorporate into his projects in North America.
