Finding Infinity is an Environmental Sustainability Studio that provides purpose driven self-sufficiency consulting, allowing projects to truly touch the earth lightly. Always striving for maximum performance and never content with minimum compliance.

The Studio delivers the most cost effective way of achieving self-sufficiency through energy, water and waste strategies for projects of scales ranging from houses to citywide masterplans.

Our approach is to always design with respect to future generations. We flip the typical design process on its head – designing demands around supply, and not the other way around.
