OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
AND ACCREDITATIONS

A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE SHAPES EVERYTHING WE DO

At S+SA Architects, we believe that architecture carries a profound social responsibility. Our mission is to design buildings that not only enhance the lives of their users but also harmonise with the natural environment. Through an inclusive design approach, we aim to improve well-being by creating balanced, thoughtful proposals that elevate the everyday experiences of those who interact with our spaces.

Our approach responds to social, environmental, and economic issues across all aspects of our practice. We are a certified B Corp and aim to use our business as a force for good by improving local communities, providing opportunities, and supporting our team and the future generation of architects and technologists.

We focus our social value activity under four key themes – next generation, environmental impact, health & well-being, charitable giving & volunteering. You can find our latest social value report here.

Sustainability
The core of our Practice’s DNA

S+SA’s Environmental & Sustainability Policy is at the core of the Practice’s DNA; we believe buildings should enhance the environment and reflect an awareness of people and place. We subscribe to the latest Building Research Establishment (BRE) software to assess environmental performance of the structures we design. We aim to achieve the highest BREEAM ratings wherever feasible.

Sustainability isn’t just part of our design philosophy, but embedded into a conscience thinking behind the way we undertake our work. We’re measuring and monitoring our carbon footprint and continuously making small changes at every opportunity to contribute towards making a bigger impact.

We believe in integrating a sustainable approach into daily practice, advising clients on responsible actions considering the building’s entire lifecycle, ensuring benefits for future generations.
