Hi

Another question from me which I was hoping forumers could help me with please:

Which major architecture practice in the UK would you say was most closely associated with environmentally-friendly projects. I appreciate that there are a number of small practices which specialise in sustainable design - but which major firms are delivering environmentally-friendly designs for major commercial projects.

Nominations welcome!

Thanks for your help.

Nick

I'd agree with Goth's suggestions. I suspect he knows why :)

I'd also say that both Richard Rogers (http://www.rrp.co.uk) and Bennetts (http://www.bennettsassociates.com/) are two other very good practices.

There are others but the challenge is to be 'green' at scale, and with your average ruthless developer type.

the other one i can think of who are pretty green are grimshaw who with rogers and w/e make up in my opinion the holy trinity of great british architectural practises that are commercially successful.
