Environmental Responsibility

We understand the construction industry’s significant role in CO² emissions and waste. At Sonder Architects, we champion informed, sustainable choices to help clients build smarter and live better. We take our responsibility seriously—guiding every project toward best-practice outcomes that balance beauty with environmental performance through conscious material selection and carbon-efficient systems.

Environmental Principles

Our designs are grounded in solar passive principles and thoughtful site response. We consider solar orientation, prevailing breezes, existing vegetation, landform, and views to create bespoke architecture that’s comfortable year-round—something that generic approaches can’t achieve.

Environmental Strategies

Enhancing the energy performance of your home is at the heart of our sustainability focus. By aligning construction methods with local climate conditions, we help reduce energy use, improve comfort, and lower running costs. Wherever possible, we retain existing structures and evaluate new systems and materials through the lens of embodied energy, durability, and carbon impact.

Social & Relational Sustainability

Sustainability extends beyond buildings. It’s rooted in respect—for people, place, and culture. We design homes that reflect your values, foster comfort, and support lasting enjoyment. Sonder is about connection—to environment, community, and each other. These relationships underpin the smooth delivery of each project and the long-term value of your home. We tailor every decision through a sustainable lens, in step with a global mission to create architecture that leaves a lighter footprint and a lasting legacy.
