DELIVERING INSPIRING DESIGN
ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
A social conscience shapes everything we do

S+SA Architects recognise that socially responsible and inclusive design, reaches out and touches all audiences. By working in harmony with the natural environment, we help improve well-being through our balanced proposals, striving to enhance the lives of the end user.

CSR is more than just a design response, it focuses on how our company performs in relation to our responsibility for each other, our clients, our co-consultants and our place in the wider community.  This is reflected in our local business and charity links with Disability Action Yorkshire, Harrogate Borough Council Employers Forum and Think Harrogate. We love our team to get involved in charity and community projects and offer each team member one volunteering day per year to provide the opportunity to participate in a worthwhile activity for a good cause.

Supporting the next generation is also hugely important to us and we enjoy exhibiting at the annual local schools and University Careers fairs.

Sustainability
The core of our Practice’s DNA

S+SA’s 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 invest in the latest software (REVIT and AutoCAD) to evaluate the positive and negative environmental impacts of every planned build by marrying intelligent design to the latest eco-friendly, energy saving materials and building methods.

"S+SA have been involved with design proposals for the re-development of the Stonebridge Mills site in Wortley, Leeds for some years. Working closely with our client and the Local Authority planning and conservation teams, plans for the site which extends to 3.6 hectares have been granted planning permission and works have now commenced on site".
