TYPE’s work stands out for the attention to detail given to every element of a project. Their unique design sensibility extends from the door handles and furniture to the structure and materials, which together define the atmosphere of their projects. TYPE’s work aims to strengthen people’s connection with nature through an emphasis on the most basic elements; light, air, and landscape, including the enhancement of ecology and biodiversity. They seek active participation from their clients in an open and iterative design process, collaborating regularly with artists and other creatives.

The practice creates low-energy homes with an economy of means, prioritising natural materials with low-embodied carbon. Often working with the retrofit and creative reuse of historic and listed properties, they select materials carefully to protect and complement specific historic constructions. TYPE has a certified Passivhaus designer within their team and can apply EnerPHit to refurbishments.

TYPE has a diverse portfolio of projects that exhibit architecture with a sense of simplicity and clarity that results from a comprehensive attention to detail.
