Our practice is based on research, design and interpretation, (re)discovering old and new ideas concerning efficiency and energy consumption and applying them to the built environment. Within our conversations we often discuss how sustainability within architectural practice often overlooks the complex social, material and spatial systems that make our world - narrowing down solutions to mere applied technology.

We reframe these oversights through the lens of entropy, seen as the dispersal of energy in a closed system which is not re-purposed for functional use. By identifying such ‘entropic losses’ in projects, our approach looks to reimagine the dormant potential within found systems.

Projects include a pavilion, constructed out of untouched building materials with the intent for them to be repurposed upon deconstruction, offering unspoiled timber to a more permanent use; a greenhouse and shed built with students for a charity allotment site, where the shed enhances the environment of the greenhouse; and a case study for retrofit, aiming to bring awareness of the heat dispersal within the existing UK housing stock.
