For People and Planet :
Sustainable thinking informs all our projects, beginning at the earliest conceptual stages and continuing right the way through to completion.
Knowing that the global construction industry uses 50% of all materials used by people the EOC team sees it as imperative that they play their part in tackling the Climate Emergency.
They are pioneers in their field in promoting sustainable use of materials, implementing and embedding circularity, resilience and reduced operational carbon into designs.
They have an integrated design approach to projects, putting as much effort into addressing the challenges of climate action as they do to produce fine and efficient designs as well as realizing architectural ambitions.
