Sustainable Design Collective

Sustainable Design Collective (SDC) is a project management and advisory firm, helping clients deliver healthy, low impact, and circular interior environments - from boardroom to jobsite.

We take a design-centered approach, working across scales and building typologies; from pilot schemes for hotels, and cultural or academic institutions, through to workplace fitouts and adaptive reuse projects. We often act as a network facilitator, working fluently between manufacturers, designers and contractors to test, implement and scale impactful products and solutions.

Our work site at the intersection of strategy and delivery, translating sustainability ambition into practical decisions across design, procurement and construction.

We support projects across the whole lifecycle - from early-stage strategy and testing through to project close out. Our role is to connect ambition with implementation, ensuring that sustainability goals translate into built outcomes.

Depending on the project, we may lead delivery as project managers, or work alongside design teams to shape interior and material specification, procurement and implementation.

In practice, this means:

Defining direction. Shaping project briefs, sustainability goals, and material strategies

Testing and validating. Running feasibility and pilot studies to de-risk new materials, systems, and circular approaches

Shaping interiors and specifications. Advising on material selection, reuse opportunities, and circular procurement strategies

Supporting delivery. Working with project teams and contractors to ensure intent is carried through to site

Communicating impact. Translating complex processes into robust narratives with accurate and transparent claims
