We are celebrating #EODay today by reflecting on a series of vision sessions we recently held in our studios across London, Hereford and Edinburgh. Being #ProudlyEO means looking to the future, and the huge role our co-owners play in decision making to shape our next 40 years. As our External Trustee Helen Moreton notes, "EO Day in the UK gives employee-owned businesses the opportunity to celebrate being part of a wonderful movement and sector. It also gives us the opportunity to reflect upon the difference EO makes to our organisation and its people. As Independent Trustee for Architype, I am very proud to work with this business, who truly put their Co-owners at the heart of what they do."

It was a great honour to speak at the European Healthcare Design conference yesterday with Architype's Mark Barry and Medical Architecture's Bob Wills exploring future healthcare design. The pair presented our collaboration on the Cavell Centre Passivhaus Community Health and Wellbeing Hub, a blueprint for the transformation of primary and community care facilities in England. This pioneering model presents Passivhaus at no extra cost, while significantly reducing carbon, as well as energy bills and other costs - around £291,000 a year - at a critical time for the healthcare industry. The scheme is also shortlisted for the 'Future Healthcare Design' at tonight's awards, recognising projects that demonstrate the potential for outstanding outcomes in masterplanning, place making, wellness, pandemic preparedness and sustainable development, in alignment with the strategic requirements of the healthcare provider to transform their services within the wider community, regional or national health system. We look forward to hearing the results later on!

What a week! Emily Partridge, Diana Chirescu and Raina Armstrong from our Digital Collective have had a great time at Digital Construction Week 2024 once again. Some key takeaways from a week of interesting talks and seminars include: 📋 Chase new tech and ideas, but implement them gradually to keep top quality standards. 🖥 Treat your data like an asset - why do we know more about the state of our office furniture than our documentation? 🤝 Collaboration is key! It was also great to catch up with Graham H Stewart, Robyn Rooschüz, Johnathan Munkley and Women in BIM - as well as many more collaborators and innovators. Our team left with a lot of food for thought and look forward to exploring more in the days to come.

What to do before you hire a skip! Architype's director Ben Humphries explains how a circular economy approach for the exemplar retrofit Entopia building - with funding from Envision Energy - for Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) resulted in innovation, ingenious thinking and a beautiful work space for staff and Canopy (CISL) occupiers. With thanks to excellent collaborators including ISG and Eve Waldron and multiple supply partners, it shows what is possible when high aspirations are set from the outset and championed by all involved Wendy Bishop John French Anna Nitch-Smith.

Architype’s Edinburgh studio welcomed Fiona MacLeod (The City of Edinburgh Council's Senior Climate Change and Sustainability Officer) and Julie D Baxter Waldron (CEC's Climate Change Programme Manager) to the Old Assembly Hall for a built environment sector workshop around the developing Climate Ready Edinburgh adaptation plans last month. The engaging session explored the adaptation needed for our future climate - a huge priority for the built environment alongside essential carbon reductions, specifically within a Scottish context. The group considered the need for a holistic approach, integrating community and environmental benefits as part of a Just Transition. Scott McAulay details these conversations in his event summary on our blog below. Thanks to all who attended and took part. We look forward to seeing you at the next! https://lnkd.in/ek7_fyxK
