SUSTAINABILITY

The studio understands the field it works in, especially that of fast-pace, often-disposable retail design can often overlook its impact on the environment. However, it is Megan's belief that the role of the Designer is key in introducing recycled and more environmentally friendly materials and solutions to clients and within projects and choose materials conscientiously. Megan has extensive knowledge and has spoken at Universities about sustainable material choices in Interior Design.

The studio chooses to work on projects or with clients as far as possible who have an Interest in the environment; whether that's closed Loop hospitality projects, or designing a fit-out solution, which reduces material wastage, transports better and therefore lowers the carbon footprint.

REUSE

Re-using old rather than buying new on both an architectural and decorative scale is something which is something is of high importance in both environmental and aesethics. The beauty of using old means it brings its story and charm with it to any space, helping to breathe life and build layers into new spaces.
