Mole Architects was founded in 1997 and has been noted for its distinctiveness, originality, and a commitment to low energy design. Mole were early exponents of the use of CLT and have over 10 years of Passivhaus experience. Recent buildings have included timber workspace buildings at The Design District, Passivhaus almshouses for Girton Town Charity, and with TOWN the highly acclaimed Marmalade Lane co-housing development. The experience of co-design has lead Mole on to other community housing projects, as well as winning the William Sutton Prize for Sustainability and Placemaking in 2022.
