EOS Future Design provides architectural design services for low energy and low carbon buildings. Where possible we use organic materials with low embodied energy and carbon. Our design philosophy is to use vernacular models when they have stood the test of time or to invent a new vernacular when the old cannot be adapted to higher energy and carbon standards. Renovation of the existing building legacy is the first choice, not only for the embodied energy saving but also to preserve our built cultural memory. We are flexible in employing Passive and Active solar systems as determined by the building location, construction, use and local renewable energy potential.
