Amidst growing climate concerns, sustainability must be deeply fundamental in the design and development of builds. Stemming not only from low impact and energy efficient sites, a healthy building is underpinned by a network of informed and adaptive decision-making processes. The ability to create a space that is functional, honours integrity in both materiality and structure, and, connects people to their surrounding landscape in a self-sustaining way encapsulates the value of sustainable architecture in both an environmental and broader community context.

We’ve chosen a range of bathrooms that rightfully assert themselves as singularly notable spaces.

The offices of the future are here, now.
