Skelly & Couch is a leading environmental engineering practice in the UK. Working with acclaimed architects, we co-create sustainable buildings and spaces that enhance quality of life while treading lightly on the earth.
We cross the boundaries between engineering disciplines to imagine, craft and deliver inventive, low-energy mechanical, electrical, public health and environmental solutions. Much of what we do is unseen – it’s concealed behind walls, under your feet, in the air. But our work brings life to buildings – and buildings to life.
We have built a reputation for design excellence, engaging in complex and bespoke projects across multiple sectors, with all our work stemming from repeat business and referrals.
Our projects have won many awards, including four RIBA Stirling Prize finalists: Cambridge Central Mosque (2021), The Weston visitor centre at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2019), Chadwick Hall student housing (2018), Command of the Oceans (2017); and the acclaimed refurbishment of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Vitsoe Production Facility Greenwich Design District and Battersea Arts Centre.
Our holistic approach to engineering means that we do not confine ourselves to specific disciplines like mechanical, electrical, or sustainability. Instead, we are engineers trained in all aspects of environmental design. We are all skilled at working in a 3D BIM environment, creating our own drawings and carrying out our own energy modelling.
We believe this approach is unique within the industry and enables us to provide a service that is both efficient and characterised by its informed, well-rounded, and transparent nature.
