Silvan Architects

We are down to earth sustainable architects who support clients to act kindly and build mindfully. We donʼt want projects to cost the earth or their well being. Silvan (or “sylvan”, from the Latin silvanus) means “consisting of or abounding in woods or trees”. We approach all projects as ecosystems, just like a woodland. A habitat that conserves and produces energy, manages waste, produces food, and a vibrant community of living things where stories happen. With mindful consumption and intelligent design, we do more with less and make spaces work hard. Everything is unique to our clientʼs neck of the woods. We are members of the Green Register and a Certified Passive House Designer.
