Steensen Varming has an innovative and collaborative approach to design that considers the broader social and environmental aspects of our work. As practitioners and advisors in mechanical and electrical engineering, lighting and sustainable design we offer a portfolio of specialist services, integrated solutions and high levels of expertise which spans strategy, design and engineering, supported by a long tradition of collaboration and creative dialogue. We focus eco-centric rather than ego-centric principles in improving physiology, functionality and environmental performance as essential, positive elements of architecture, human experience and the wider built environment. We are committed to creating ‘positive environments’, and continuously improving our practices to the benefit of the local and global environment and communities. We are proud to lead by example and consider environmental and social issues to be essential to a responsible business. We exclusively support projects that provide benefit to, and advance society rather than those that irresponsibly exploit others or the environment.
