Robin Baker worked under the name of Gaia Architects Aberfeldy from 1996 to 2004 and then Gaia Birnam until October 2008 when he started trading as Robin Baker Architects, yet still retaining the same ecological ethos in design and a genuine interest in community and cultural development.

This practice has a commitment to high quality sustainable design with an emphasis on healthy, low energy buildings.

Global warming is now potentially the biggest crisis facing the future of mankind and today the message from informed people is that the next five years will decide the planet's fate. With the impact of climate change it is now essential for our buildings to be low carbon and sustainable.

Rising heating costs have alerted us to the need to save energy. Insulating well and building airtight construction also means ventilating right to ensure that we breathe clean air unpolluted by toxins. We devote considerable effort into sourcing eco friendly materials that are affordable for our clients.

There is a strange theory that green architecture cannot be elegant. We trust that the projects on our website demonstrate that to be untrue.
