Welcome to
Constructive Individuals on the web!

Constructive Individuals is a practice based in York, UK, which provides a wide range of services based around the design of buildings and spaces. Established in 1985, the practice has been involved in a very wide variety of projects and has developed a range of skills which go well beyond most people's experience of architecture.

We have been involved in building design, community consultation, training, project management and have written guides and manuals for publication. We have worked with clients from five years old to retired.

The purpose of this site is to give you some idea of our range of skills and the sort of projects we have been involved with. Explore, and contact us if you'd like to know more.

What's Going On?
   

The Lendal Hubstation conversion, providing a base and secure bike parking for York's Bike Rescue Project, is about to start on site.
A complex project with a listed building, liaison with the Environment Agency over flood defences, and funding from Cycling England!

Revised proposals have just been submitted for a scheme of three eco-houses for sale on a site in Strensall, near York. Designed using Passivhaus principles, a shared ground-source heat pump system is being investigated.

Meanwhile, the near-Passivhaus new home for Phil & Karen Littler in Harrogate is nearing completion. Final airtightness testing yielded a figure of 2.45m3/m2c - one of the lowest the tester had seen.
