“HDVN is driven by a strong social and sustainability agenda, and in recent years has explored the use of prefabrication in creating sustainable infrastructure for projects including schools, nursing homes and student housing. What distinguishes HDVN is a number of recent projects which have achieved design-led architecture of a permanent quality and performance that also allow for future relocation.”
