ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE  DESIGN (ESD)

Ecologically sustainable design is core to our practice and professional responsibility.

smith+tracey continue to develop an ESD knowledge base and raise awareness amongst participants and those affected by the process of shaping the quality of the environment.

Achieving a sustainable society requires sensitive response to planning, designing, and management of the built environment.

Our design approach relies on exploring the integral relationship between the clients’ needs and the opportunities of the site; to achieve a workable, cost-effective and environmentally sensitive outcome.

• In doing this we aim to:
• Capitalize on climate and place
• Encourage efficient resource and energy use
• Emphasize waste reduction
• Create healthy built environments for general well-being
• Get seriously involved
