Sustainable Architecture

John Gilbert Architects design buildings and places that people want to live in.

Building design

We design bespoke, award-winning buildings for private clients and social landlords. John Gilbert Architects carry out feasibility studies, options appraisals, design and site work.

We are accredited in sustainability, conservation, Ecohomes and access audits.

Housing

We design homes that people want to live in, are warm and dry and remain at low cost to people and the environment. They are a long-term asset to the community.

Using our combined experience of over sixty years, we have a proven reputation for working with social landlords to get the best value from tight resources. We have long experience in regenerating social housing in the West of Scotland as well as rural housing.

Community Facilities

We create adaptable, accessible, healthy, energy-efficient community facilities with low running costs.

Conservation

We believe in working with existing buildings wherever possible, adapting them to new needs and circumstances. We can advise on strategies to give older buildings a future. Services include surveys, reports, design and specification of appropriate repairs and improvements as well as finding the right skills to carry out often difficult and challenging work.

Offices

We help clients to create healthy, energy-efficient offices that are good places to work and meet. We can specify layouts, furniture and fittings, networks and security as well as manage projects quickly and efficiently.
