Creating spaces that enhance lives, strengthen
communities, and respect our environment.
Our Purpose
At BTP, we believe architecture has the power to transform lives. It is not just about creating beautiful buildings - we aim to design spaces that are sustainable, foster wellbeing and contribute positively to society.
Our social valueHow we deliver sustainability
-
Fabric First Approach
We start with the building fabric, using insulation, airtightness and passive design to reduce energy demand and improve comfort.
-
Low Carbon Materials
We chose materials carefully, specifying timber, recycled content and local sourced products wherever appropriate.
-
Renewable Energy
We integrate technologies such as solar PV, heat pumps and battery storage to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
-
Circular Economy
We design buildings to be flexible, adaptable and easier to reuse, helping extend their lifespan and reduce waste.
-
Biodiversity Net Gain
We consider ecology from the outset, incorporating native planting, green roofs, wildlife habitats to enhance local biodiversity.
-
Whole Life Carbon Assessment
We assess carbon throughout a building’s life, using the findings to guide design decisions and support continuous improvement.
No matter the project type, from initial concept to final build, we hold ourselves to the highest design standards. Our team of architects and designers are passionate about creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
