At QODA, we use our creative flair to support the highest standard of architectural design. Our design-led approach gives creative freedom to our team and encourages them to test their talents to the full on every project. Regular training and development programmes ensure that the skills of our people are more than a match for any challenge.
To maintain our position at the cutting edge of mechanical, electrical and sustainable areas of building design, we strive to push the boundaries whenever the brief allows. While our success is occasionally down to flashes of brilliance, it more often results from hours of hard work.

We worked with the client and design team to creatively combine a variety of different technical solutions. These included a comprehensive solar strategy (winter gains/summer shading), an ETFE roof structure, a solar thermal array with in-ground storage, ground coupled earth tubes and photovoltaics. Each of these technologies had to be carefully researched and then combined to create a uniquely innovative solution that is inherently sustainable resulting in a minimal carbon footprint.
