Principles — SYZO
Our principles

Build properly. Maintain effectively. Manage professionally.

Twenty principles our engineers work to, refined across a decade of refurbishing and running our own portfolio. We publish them for the same reason we publish our fees.

01

The outer shell

Roof, walls, doors, windows, foundations. The outer shell passively controls how water and heat interact with the building — get it right with robust, long-term materials and external maintenance, the most costly kind, falls dramatically.

02

The systems

Mechanical, electrical, ventilation, data and supply systems, carefully researched and specified with a clear, repeatable method for what we choose, how we install it and how we keep it maintainable. Energy-efficient, controllable, cheap to run.

03

The inner shell

Every surface robust, useful and considered — designed to remove inherited complexity, optimise space and storage, and allow quick access to potential maintenance issues. Fabricated parts built better, stronger and to our own aesthetic.
