While there is always much emphasis placed on the sustainability of individual buildings (how often do we hear mention of Green Star ratings, energy efficiency and indoor environment quality?), Hayball takes a more holistic approach to environmentally sustainable design (ESD).
While the aforementioned measures are all important and aspects that we incorporate into our designs on a daily basis, we try not to get bogged down in the detail, but rather, focus on the bigger picture. Our passion is creating sustainable communities, incorporating smart cities (urban design), learning places (education) and living environments (residential).
We understand that traditional construction materials are depleting, but governments are slowly responding and legislation is changing. While, for many, the ‘green wash’ that accompanies many projects can be confusing or even contradictory, Hayball aims to cut through to the core issues so that builders, developers and end-users can see the value – and significant benefit – in environmentally sustainable design.
