With over a decade of industry experience, Sid Thoo is an award-winning architect, educator and consultant who can help you design a quality, eco-effective home that is more sustainable and won’t cost a fortune.

WHO AM I?

Sustainability is a word that gets used (and abused) more often than not, so I tend to describe the work I do as eco-effective. I also try to adopt an integral approach towards sustainable design.
