Ecological Landscape Design

GORDON CLARKE ARCHITECTS have been designing high quality works of architecture since their inception in 1999. We combine building methods which care for our planet and our future, with the highest quality design and a full professional service. With staffing levels and experience to support projects from £50,000 to £10 million, in residential, commercial, historic building and arts sectors there are few projects to which we are not able to apply a fresh outlook on design.

Our location in Gloucestershire gives us excellent access to all of southern England and the Midlands including Devon, the Home Counties and London, as well as South and Mid Wales. Being recognised specialists in eco-design we are frequently chosen for our skills and our approach rather than our location. We are happy to take on smaller projects closer to home and have special skills working with Cotswold buildings.

We have excellent contacts with both local and London based structural and
services engineers, all with experience in the ‘green’ sector, and our own in-house landscaping specialists. If required we can offer a complete team package ensuring integration of the whole design process.

A full complement of CAD and imaging software gives us the ability to produce 3D rendered images, fly-throughs and solar studies. All our projects are modelled using cross platform software ensuring rapid communication and flexibility during the evolution of the scheme.

We are committed to staff development and take a non-adversarial approach both within our practice and through the whole design and construction team. We offer a free initial consultation.

 
 

 

  Brief Notes:

Ecological Design

Each building is a dynamic energy system. Each is built from materials which come from the earth. The way we use energy and the way we process materials makes a difference to the world. Eco Building is our future.
Organic Architecture
Our buildings are about the relationship between people and their connections to the world around them. Sometimes in our bustling cities of steel and glass we forget that we evolved to be in sunlight and beauty.
Conservation
Conserving our history gives our lives context and meaning.
Commercial
Close participation at the conceptual stage can encourage creative solutions to organisational issues and lead to responsive and workplace-orientated buildings.
Ecclesiastical
Our work ranges from complete restoration of historic churches to artistic commissions in glass. We are also experienced in internal and external church lighting schemes.
Performance Venues
Small theatres and concert venues, art centres and school halls all require an understanding of the intimate relationships between performer and audience.
Arts and Crafts
Working individually as craftspeople helps us to keep connected to the creative process.
Residential
Let us build homes and communities which add joy and meaning to our lives

Landscaping - Landscape and built fabric have an eternal dialogue. Learning to speak the language requires us to listen to the wonder of nature.

Master Planning - The stress and complexity of modern urban fabric can be renewed by its re-integration with nature.
