ETHOS OF THE PRACTICE
 

Context

To design projects which respect the existing urban or rural environment.

Ecology

To incorporate in our designs our knowledge of ecological design and green construction, with attention to energy efficiency, resource depletion, pollution issues and the health implications, of buildings and products.

Communication

To involve clients in the design process, using 3D models and computer-aided drawings to help communication and understanding.

Quality

To offer our clients a high quality professional service & design buildings of quality that are practical, affordable, enjoyable and sustainable.

Resources

To link with other practices with a reputation for high quality work in order to take on projects requiring different skills and resources.

We often act as the Design Team Leaders, where projects involve a number of different consultants.

 

OUR APPROACH TO DESIGN

In 1994 the Practice was able to find a client with similar interests when appointed to design the development of the hotel ‘The Narrows’. Here integrated accessibility and the recycling of materials remained important design criteria. The practice now has a track record of buildings that are functional and cost —effective, and importantly are very well liked by the wider public, as well as by the clients!

Tom Woolley is heavily involved in research, consultancy and publications in the field of ecological buildings. As Editor of the Green Building Handbook, Tom Woolley is able to feed practical knowledge into the Architectural Practice of Rachel Bevan Architects. We are members of the Ecological Design Association & AECB, and have formed strong links with the Environmental Building News and Ecological Building Network in the USA.

Rachel Bevan has won a number of awards for her designs. She has built the practice on a reputation of quality work and Client centered approach.
