An award-winning regional practice based in Bristol, Alec French consider sustainability a fundamental principle in all the projects they are involved with. These range in scale and type, including historical conservation, refurbishment, mixed-use commercial, education and community buildings. We have a holistic approach to design which considers any number of factors relevant to that particular project. Sustainability is always one of the key considerations because of our responsibility as architects to reduce the impact our designs have on the environment and to ensure that they contribute positively to society. We believe in a collaborative approach to sustainability that fully engages the client, design team and other stakeholders to develop a solution that considers energy, water, materials, waste, transport, pollution, ecology and health & wellbeing.
