Build Better.

Sustainability is at the centre of everything we do.  At E-LAB we see sustainability as the nexus of architecture, engineering and human design.   We seek to do more with less.   

Our ethos is founded in delivering elegant, efficient developments centred on human use, for this generation and the generations to come.  We start by taking the time to listen and understand your key drivers. Only then can we couple this with our technical expertise to optimise the project.  We deliver pragmatic, beautiful and efficient buildings with lower environmental footprint, higher value and greater good to community.  

We bring together industry-leading expertise to cover our passion for carbon net-zero, building performance, advanced simulation, sustainability advisory and climate resilience. We look at assets across their entire life, considering both the embodied carbon and operational carbon to deliver a considered, accurate and sustainable approach. We believe in results founded on science and reality, not “Greenwashing”.

Design Optimisation - We understand how buildings work. We are sustainability advocates at heart, but also buildings physics nerds. It requires both these skills to advise how buildings really work. Design optimisation is the confluence of building services, architecture, asset ownership and sustainability thinking. At this nexus, we can create healthy, efficient and elegant buildings that work efficiently.

Healthy Buildings - We design for people, place and project. Taking an anthropocentric approach to our art, we design building that advance human health through design interventions, operational protocols and policies and foster a culture of health and well-being.

Award Winning Leadership - Our team includes WELL Accredited Professionals and Recognised Award Recipients that know how to deliver excellence across a project.  We design and deliver spaces using science-backed mechanisms that have been found to increase focus, reduce distraction, improve engagement, reduce absenteeism and improve overall quality of life.

Exceeding Expectation - Our engineers possess an ethos of delivering phenomenal results across all asset classes. Personally, we believe code minimum is not something to be proud of. Finding opportunity that improves the value of the building, reduces wasteful spend and delivers real improvement is what we live for. We love turning 5 Star into 6 Star, good practice into best practice and inspiring into unbelievable.
