Sustainable Architecture

At John Gilbert Architects, we believe that buildings should be deeply rooted in their context, featuring contemporary designs that are both high-performing and tailored to the needs of their users. We are firm advocates for the importance of careful design and detailing, ensuring that our buildings boast high standards of energy efficiency and excellent internal space standards. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our projects but also ensures that they will stand the test of time.

Conservation & Retrofit

Our conservation and retrofit service is designed to breathe new life into old buildings, regardless of their age, use, or type. We work closely with our clients, the building itself, and its residents to deliver structures that have been revitalized with a new or improved function, enhanced appearance, reduced running costs, and are fit for the 21st century. By doing so, we aim to preserve the rich heritage of our built environment while making it more sustainable and functional for future generations.

We approach town centre and housing regeneration with a strategic mindset, utilizing our planning and urban design skills to develop plans that benefit not just residents but also stakeholders and the wider community. Our goal is to create thriving, sustainable spaces that foster a sense of community and promote social, economic, and environmental well-being.
