In the ever-evolving world of construction, terminology can often be confusing. Rather than getting lost in terms like sustainable or regenerative, we prefer to focus on the term "biocentric." Biocentric materials are those derived from living systems. A key aspect of these materials is their ability to return to and enrich living systems after their life as building materials.
By emphasizing biocentric materials, we advocate for a practical approach to addressing the environmental challenges faced by the construction industry. This perspective not only supports responsible resource management but also fosters a deeper connection between our built environment and the ecological systems in which they exist.
Here we list a selection of some of the materials that we can offer through our supply chain. We welcome and recommend conversations with you as early as possible on your projects so we can offer advice as you try to narrow down the possibilities for your project. All our materials are rigorously tested and documented in collaboration with our suppliers. If you can’t find the information you are looking for or just want to talk through options please get in touch.

We are hands on architects and makers with significant experience in the materials we offer. When time allows, our architectural team loves to be on site working with the materials. When it doens’t, we work with a network of builders and craftspeople to frabricate and install everything we offer. These craftspeople are trained by us on our own courses.
