Introduction
Anne Thorne Architects Partnership has an ecological approach to design for community, residential buildings and urban environments. In our work we look for healthy and environmentally sound solutions to building design and materials specification.
Completed projects include low energy designs for new-build housing, extensions and refurbishment, pedestrian and cycle priority traffic interchange design and wind-powered public space sculpture.
We incorporate low embodied-energy materials and construction, organic finishes, non-chemical timber treatments, low electromagnetic radiation, use of native timber species and FSC certified timber sources.
We achieve affordable warmth objectives through high insulation values within currentcost indicators for social housing.
Our expertise lies in working to programme with the end user to develop architecture which is sustainable and environment friendly, to fit your budget now and in the future.
We bring to projects an approach which takes into account the diverse community; in particular, people from minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities and women’s perceptions and requirements, working with artists and with the client to create buildings with a richness which goes beyond surface appearance.
