White Arkitekter has appointed Passivhaus expert Christian Dimbleby as the firm’s new UK head of sustainability.
Dimbleby is a qualified architect and engineer and has two decades of experience in designing and delivering radically lower carbon buildings at Architype.
In his new role, Dimbleby will drive sustainable practices across the firm’s UK portfolio and will play a pivotal role in White Arkitekter achieving its goal of delivering all carbon neutral buildings by 2030.
Michael Woodford, director of White Arkitekter’s London Studio, said: “Christian will be a fantastic addition to our UK team and we’re very pleased to have him on board. His wealth of experience and expertise in delivering low energy and net zero buildings is invaluable as we work towards achieving our sustainability goals and addressing the climate emergency head on. We look forward to working with Christian to ensure that White continues to pioneer climate-resilient design.”
Dimbleby added: “I’ve long admired White’s Arkitekter’s work with timber, especially with the Sara Kulturhus in Skellefteå, Sweden. But more than it just being about the material choice, this project demonstrates the practice’s wider sustainable vision in delivering low carbon and beautiful buildings. My work has always sought to make a better future for all, so I’m very excited to help support White’s vision to deliver all carbon neutral buildings by 2030.”
