DESIGN TEAM
r-m-p architects and engineers, Mannheim, Germany
r-m-p was founded in 1981 by Roland Matzig. At any one time there are 10 to 15 architects engaged as part of the design group with a further 10 external engineers carrying out calculations and working on technical details who make up the team. All architects employed by r-m-p are certified Passivhaus Designers. The practice has undertaken a full range of projects including new design and refurbishment, covering family dwellings, housing estates, kindergartens, offices, schools, hotels and fitness centres. Over 1500 Projects have been completed by the practice since its foundation. In 1998 the first Passivhaus was planned by r-m-p and since 2003 all projects have been developed following Passivhaus principles and achieving the Passivhaus standard. All completed projects (over 50 to date) are certified by the Passivhaus Institute in Darmstadt/Germany. r-m-p currently has 50 projects on site and a further 30 commissioned and at various stages of the design process. The largest project is a 10,000 sq m school in Luxemburg. The r-m-p practice has completed more certified Passivhaus than any other consultancy in the world.

Chambers Goodwin and Partners (CGP), Rickmansworth, UK
CGP was originally established in 1983 and is registered as a Chartered Practice with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). The practice provides architectural, town planning, project management services and sustainability advice. It is now located at Rickmansworth, just inside the M25. The practice has handled some 200 projects since its foundation spread throughout the South East of England and Greater London, principally in social housing, student housing, key worker housing, schools and community projects, and mostly for public sector clients. Our largest recent project is the £22m development at North Hampshire Hospital, Basingstoke of which the first £11m phase of staff housing is completed. Two other recent projects exceeded £15m and we regularly handle projects over £5m. 6 years ago we completed a new church hall in West London with a PV array on its roof part funded by Government grant. This near “zero carbon” building was a prime example of good practice for its time. Many of its lessons have been used in our subsequent design but it was only in early 2009 that we fully embraced Passivhaus and launched PDS in collaboration with r-m-p.
