studio | REAL were commissioned by Arnold White Estates Ltd as part of a focused consultant team to research and advise upon key aspects of sustainable communities including energy, water, waste, urban design and building construction. Sustainability is a key issue within studio | REAL’s practice philosophy and this project, in part, followed on from the development of studio | REAL’s local resource model which had already been successfully utilised on several masterplanning projects for the same client.
The key achievements of the sustainability task force were to build up a mutually beneficial body of knowledge, provide an ongoing resource for subsequent commissions and to guide the development of future working practices. Research included a diverse range of subjects including district heating and power, wind power, anaerobic digestion, grey and rain water recycling, building construction and waste to energy among others.
