Sustainable, healthy buildings enhance productivity, reduce stress and ensure the quality of life of those living and working within them. Toyin-Ann's focus on energy-efficient architecture was sparked by the emergence of the contemporary 'green' movement. She has been in the low-carbon building industry for over a decade, using her expertise in the physics of regenerative development to plan healthy, sustainable homes.
Combining the studies of Neuroscience and Architecture, Toyin-Ann focuses on building projects that emphasise and contribute to the overall wellbeing of their occupants. Her designs bring renewable technologies into construction development, incorporating tools like solar water heating, rainwater harvesting, and biomass boilers. She specialises in Passivhaus design, considered the most accurate and practical approach to achieving 'green' standards.

Common Questions
-
Sustainable design aims to reduce negative environmental impacts and promote the health and wellbeing of building occupants. Effective methods incorporate materials and processes that meet ‘green’ standards.
-
Defining and cultivating purpose is central to leading companies through sustainability transformations. Leadership needs to adopt new flexibility and an enterprise mindset to inspire from within and incite change through all organisation ranks.
-
Healthy Buildings promote health and wellbeing through improved air and water quality and other health-affirming factors such as natural lighting and noise reduction. Healthy building strategies focus on supporting people's physical and psychological health and wellbeing and their relationship with the built environment.

Established by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany in 1996, a Passive House is a construction approach that best utilises the inherent passive qualities of a structure, such as its sun position and ventilation, versus relying on active heating and cooling systems to control internal climate. Designing a passive home is often centred on the home’s positioning to optimise solar gain while also focusing on build aspects such as premium windows and insulation to create an airtight structure with minimal thermal loss.
