Everything extra

Experience:

　

At SAVI we have brought forward a range of experiences based on our varied background. We have extensive knowledge in creating innovative design using the latest technology including structural, insulation and cladding systems which conform to the building regulations of 2020

Ethos:
Our practice's defining character derives from the desire to be on the frontline of innovation in many ways. We do this with our image and our approach to design. At SAVI we deliver the image of professionalism whilst also being personable.

Our company name derives from the word "Savvy", which itself means to be intelligent. We shortened this word to "Savi" to create a simple and original company name which can be remembered easily by customers. 'Sustainable Architecture, viable intelligence' is the second meaning to our company name which simply defines two of our main focuses when designing. These are designing sustainably and integrating our intelligent monitoring systems into buildings.

In order to steer away from the predictable green colour-schemes that 'sustainable' and 'eco friendly' companies have used in the past, SAVI decided to progress with our trademark blue colour. We feel that this fresh and vibrant colour adds more edge to our company and helps to set us apart.

Our logo has been designed to tie in a number of elements: To try and fit into the 2020 advertising world; to be simple and memorable; to portray/hint that we are an architectural firm; to be able to be printed on a variety of surfaces and in colour/black & white but still retain it's image.
