We are

Attentive to architecture ...

* We are convinced that visually appealing architecture and sustainability go hand in hand.
* We build for people, and take their wishes and needs seriously.
* We value original structures and where possible prioritize redevelopment over demolition and new builds.
* We use only sustainable construction methods, considering grey energy, the capacity for dismantling and recyclability, as well as overall energy use.
* We avoid building materials made of plastics (even those not visible).
* We try use recycled or salvaged building materials wherever possible.
* We focus on durability, value, and timelessness - but also adaptability.
* We are always seeking to improve our practices.

… in-house, as we would at home ...

* We work full-time 32 hours a week, and we welcome part-time contracts for balancing work and family or pursuing personal goals.
* We don’t do overtime, but if it’s necessary, then fully paid.
* We support home office - and not just during pandemics.
* We keep our salaries and business figures transparent.
* We expect and encourage training and development.
* We finance ‘job-bikes’ or tickets for public transport.
* We avoid air-travel wherever possible, motivating ourselves with rail cards and an extra five days of vacation for every flight-free year.

... in our everyday working life ...

* We don’t fly but travel by train.
* We search online with Ecosia, planting trees by doing so.
* We use ecological office materials and try to use them sparingly.
* We use ecological cleaning products and source them from packaging-free retailers.
* We drink tap water from glass bottles, oat milk in our coffee, and prefer organic produce.
