Why we care...


Sustainable Design is now one of the most important and key challenges for architects today. Climate change and limited energy resources necessitate a need to focus on low-energy consumption and environmentally friendly architecture.

Studio3 prioritize sustainable design in all our projects from inception to completion.

Sustainability and durability are core concepts, ensuring that our architecture lasts, physically, functionally and aesthetically. We recognize that successful sustainable development incorporates social, economic and environmental issues.

Energy effeciency and resource concious approaches is embedded in all our work, incorporating a holistic approach at masterplan level and concept stages of our projects through to the technical delivery and detail of renewable technologies in our buildings.

We combine creative thinking and technical innovation in all our work which includes building orientation and passive design, selection of appropriate and durable building materials, ground heat, solar cells, rainwater collection, green roofs and a focus on improved indoor climate and natural ventilation.

Studio3 has developed key associations with like minded architects and energy consultants in Ireland, United Kingdom and Europe. This network of other committed professionals allows Studio 3 to draw support, collaborate and exchange thinking on a variety of sustainable issues and projects.

We assist our clients to develop an energy roadmap for active energy and carbon management, analysis and audit of existing facilities and building fabric. Thermal imaging and air-tightness tests are provided for quality control for new and existing and refurbishment projects.

Studio3 is committed to create contemporary, modern architecture as an expression of our responsibility to climate, energy consumption and sustainability.
