Hawkins \ Brown

We are on a mission to demystify sustainable design and make it effortless; collectively we can combat the climate and biodiversity crisis. Our whole life design approach reduces carbon emissions over the lifecycle of a building and creates healthier, happier environments.

We are architects, urban and interior designers and have been pioneers in sustainable design since the practice was founded 36 years ago. We constantly challenge ourselves, our clients, colleagues and competitors to do better. And we do that by investing, researching, reviewing, inventing and - most importantly - sharing the knowledge and tools we create. We have developed H\BERT (Hawkins\Brown Emissions Reduction Tool) an award-winning open-source tool for architects, designers, and clients to achieve zero carbon emissions at every stage in a building lifecycle. 

We are currently working on the UK’s largest Passivhaus development and its first Passivhaus-certified hospital.
