Battle McCarthy's success has grown out of our ability to foster and synergise our unique range of skills and experience within the practice, in tandem with our passion for delivering solutions that not only meet the client's objectives and budget expectations but are also sustainable. As a consequence, we have established a world renowned reputation for breaking boundaries and producing award-winning results.

In each project, we encourage the engineering and architectural teams to explore and understand the engineering issues generated by the design brief. Computer and physical analysis is carried out to assess: stress and strain; daylight and solar penetration; thermal control; and ventilation and sound control. The results of the analysis are then used to develop the engineering strategy of the building design and assist the architect to generate an architectural form that accommodates all design issues including structural materials and building systems.

In particular, the practice has developed analytical tools to understand the climatic interaction between landscape, building form and structural materials. In our work, we always look to explore the opportunity offered by the interaction between climate and structure rather than just approaching it as a problem to be resolved. The result is designs that are influenced through an awareness of natural forces such as light, heat, sound and air movement.

As a practice, we recognise the importance of education and the need to engage students from all disciplines. Many of our engineers are actively involved in lecturing, course setting and tutoring. We have an active student intern programme looking to employ both engineering and architectural students with interest in incorporating sustainable design into the built environment.
