We approached this project determined to specify the best environmental performance possible for the site. Working out exactly what this looked like in practice took a long time, but happily the vision has not been compromised along the way.
All our suppliers have a commitment to quality. This often goes hand-in-hand with excellent environmental performance: good design typically leads to products that are effective, efficient, robust and durable.
