BUILD | REGENERATIVE
Design shaped by nature, built for wellbeing.
REGENERATIVE DESIGN aligns architecture, landscape and infrastructure with natural systems so that each project strengthens the health and resilience of its place. At BUILD, this systems-based approach underpins all our work. Time and again, we find that projects designed in this way excel in both economic performance and long-term durability.
-
Buildings designed with access to green space, non-toxic materials and passive heating, cooling, and ventilation create healthier environments for people to live in. Studies from universities and industry consistently show higher cognitive performance, and better developmental outcomes in places designed with these principles.
-
Planning systems are increasingly centring nature-based and low-carbon design as baseline expectations. Building regeneratively places your project ahead of regulation and aligns it with emerging frameworks such as biodiversity net gain requirements, water-sensitive urban design, and zero-carbon and resilience policies.
This alignment supports smoother approvals, lower compliance risk, and stronger support from planning authorities and communities.
-
Regenerative projects are designed to last. They are designed to maximize resilience, and minimize resource use. By doing this they minimise operational volatility and protect long-term asset value.
Market research across global property portfolios shows that certified sustainable buildings consistently achieve higher rents, lower vacancy, and stronger sales performance than conventional assets. Risk-adapted, climate-ready buildings also tend to be more insurable and experience fewer losses over time.
Regenerative design strengthens financial performance, reduces risk, and helps projects continue to perform as conditions change.
-
Projects that restore landscapes and support wellbeing become local assets. They build identity and trust, strengthening a project’s presence over time.
Built examples across North America and Europe show that regenerative developments can generate civic pride while outperforming traditional assets economically and operationally.
Regenerative projects elevate their surroundings, reinforce a strong sense of place, and create environments that people choose to live in, return to, and care for.
