Sustainable Architecture
DUO design for longevity. Passive design, curated spatial planning, conscious material specification and attention to detail result in simple, timeless projects. DUO aim to deliver architecture that stands the test of time aesthetically, practically and economically.
Anything practically designed will be inherently beautiful.
“At DUO there is one tree planted on behalf of our clients, for every one square metre we build.
DUO are working with ‘One Tree Planted’ not for profit organisation to reduce the impact on the planet’s natural resources.”
Designing for longevity is designing to withstand changes in fashion and function and allows materials to age but not wear. Simple design provides flexibility of function and a neutrality that transcends time.
Passive design principles are the foundations of DUO’s designs. Harnessing the temporal nature of light and breeze, connecting to nature and maintaining thermal comfort are not only instinctive requirements of human nature but also minimise the energy requirements of the home.
At DUO we work with our clients to ensure that each project has been methodically designed, consciously specified and strategically managed in order to deliver a completed house that is simply timeless.
