Our Philosophy

The GAIA ethos is a joyful positive view that enhances design quality and greatly improves quality of life. Not limited to energy issues alone, it encompasses natural light, natural materials for air quality and health, colour theory and a general sense of vitality.

It takes 40 years for philosophical insight to reach general practice and in 2010 we can now see the changes in general practice from the insights of the late '60s.

In a post-industrial and increasingly globalised environment the insight that we cannot continue destroying our own habitat, and that of other species, without very serious eventual consequences, and short term affects, is now in general practice.

However, many architects remain very unsure how to apply sustainable principles while still giving clients beautiful buildings. After more than 30 years in private practice we know how to. 

The aims of GAIA ecotecture are grounded in human destiny with justice and happiness as the goals.
