Energy‑Efficient Façade System

The architects developed a technically complex façade to optimise thermal performance without relying heavily on mechanical and electrical infrastructure. The project included a multistorey car park and a multiuse main building with a large auditorium on the upper floors, presenting significant technical uncertainties in balancing aesthetic and performance requirements. By demonstrating how this project addressed these uncertainties and advanced industry standards, we successfully defended the R&D claim.

Modular Housing Scheme

The project involved designing a highly sustainable, volumetric scheme of multiple homes in a built‑up city‑centre area. At the time, it was recognised as one of the tallest modular buildings in the country, pushing the boundaries of modular design. We highlighted how this project innovatively addressed urban housing challenges, supporting its eligibility for R&D relief.
