Buschow Henley are interested in what might be described as a palpably sustainable architecture, one that has a human, ethical and cultural dimension.

We are committed to contributing to the ecological well being of the processes on which life depends as well as maintaining the intrinsic values of the natural environment. On this basis we have defined a six aims to achieve this goal:

• to improve the quality of the built environment
• to increase awareness of environmental issues
• to maximise the health and comfort of building users
• to minimise the consumption of resources, especially non-renewable

resources, and minimise consumption by designing for durability
• to minimise pollution of air, soil and water
• to maintain and, where it has been disturbed, restore biodiversity

On this basis we have developed a set of principles which provide a step-by-step approach to achieving this goal.

If you would like further information regarding these aims please contact the practice.
