ENVIRONMENT

We believe those more connected to their environment care more for it.

Coffey strives to incorporate natural aspects into building design with specific attention to natural light. Our approach goes beyond fabric first environmental principles to incorporate an understanding of the building’s interaction with light and nature to connect people to their environment and engender a sense of care for their immediate and wider world.

Designing for people’s delight

Our designs create spaces that not only promote well-being but also bring delight to those who experience them. These spaces evoke a sense of tranquility and awe, making the experience of being in the building more enjoyable and memorable by composing natural light and nature to create memorable light and shadow.

Light, time and circadian rhythms

We are committed to creating architecture that connects users to their circadian rhythms through design with natural light and nature. Circadian rhythms affect people’s sleep, mood and overall well-being. Considered lighting design can align the natural rhythms of light and dark with the building’s inhabitants, improving their sleep patterns and promoting alertness during the day. This leads to better health outcomes, increased productivity, and overall improved well-being.

Lightening our carbon load

Our design principles are efficient and sustainable to reduce a building’s carbon footprint. Coffey Architects’ comprehensive approach is both energy efficient and beneficial to people’s wellbeing. We are committed, with our clients willingness, to achieving Net Zero in line with the RIBA 2030 Challenge.

The future is green and bright

Greening the city improves the health, sustainability, and quality of life in urban areas for people of all ages. Together, these benefits may help alleviate some of the stresses that people in metropolitan areas face in the future. We are committed to incorporating landscape and green space into all of our designs for the benefit of our ultimate clients, the users of our buildings and places.
