Make Architects

Make is an award-winning international architectural practice with a reputation for challenging convention and pursuing design excellence. Since we opened our doors in 2004, we’ve worked on over 1,000 projects worldwide in four studios across three continents and have completed 40 buildings, achieved 91 planning consents and realised seven masterplans, across a range of sectors. Our work is inspired by a singular purpose; to design the best buildings, places and spaces in the world. Sustainability Make is passionately committed to designing schemes which minimise environmental impact and optimise energy efficiency. We believe that architects have an urgent duty to mitigate the effects of climate change by designing buildings which work harder and perform better. We approach each scheme as an opportunity to reduce energy consumption and maximise life in use, and develop bespoke energy strategies for each project which are entirely adapted to the building and its context. For us, however, sustainability in architecture is not a ‘bolt-on’ remedy and cannot be achieved by incorporating a few obvious elements like wind turbines or solar panels: it is a holistic process which permeates every aspect of our work. Above all, we believe that environmental awareness should not be viewed as a limitation of architectural potential, but as an exciting challenge that will produce a new generation of innovative and environmentally responsible buildings.
