Cosmic Constructions specialise in ecologically sustainable building & design.

 

​

We are driven by a fascination of materials & construction; researching & experimenting with traditional building materials & techniques such as clay, lime & wood, as well as new sustainable products on the market that offer alternatives to concrete & plastics. 

​

​

In addition to this we work in partnership with major cultural institutes to repurpose materials that would otherwise end up in landfill. 

​

​

We believe natural materials improve our wellbeing and connect us to the land around us.

​

​

All our projects are underpinned by a consideration of site, space & people; we are conscious of the neuancises of light, temperature, location and individual ways of being in space. How our clients feel is always at the centre of the design process.

​

​

Our work is informed by the natural world and the relationships between materials, people, space & time. We use the lunar calendar in all elements of project management, from conception to harvest, to ensure fulfilling, ethical working environments & results.
