Our approach makes sustainable design effortless

From reinventing the high street to low carbon, passivhaus buildings in the heart of our community, we are committed to taking action on the most pressing social environmental issues.

Environment & Climate

Footprint Architects are committed to developing buildings that are environmentally sensitive. We design healthy buildings, using natural, low carbon materials to achieve the highest levels of sustainability and comfort. 

People & Communities

We create spaces to learn, live, work and to be together that sit in the heart of local communities. From boosting wellbeing to attracting customers, we always think about how the space will be used in the present and made fit for the future.

Context & Place

We can turn even the most challenging sites into amazing opportunities. By carefully analysing the site and understanding the local context, we create buildings that make the most of their location, while respecting and celebrating their surroundings.
