Approach
Act Now
We have to act now, as there is no time to wait while our environment goes through drastic changes. Our aim is to design and build climate friendly buildings. Nowadays people are seduced with all kinds of luxury and create wealthy artificial surroundings. We believe in a different kind of wealth and comfort through building in a natural balance. Our designs follow natural principles of physics to keep you warm, dry or shaded.
We work on projects that cooperate with their environment. The international building practice can transform only step by step. Inspiring examples will be followed by others. In our projects you will see a variety of climate friendly approaches. Some clients were ready to go all in, others will set their first steps, together we grow. Overtime we build a community that act on its promises and supports each other to rebalance the earth.

Bringing philosophy to projects

Mubende

& Kaliro

With zigzag facades that avoid direct sunlight and roof designs that stimulate a refreshing airflow, we measured a 8 degrees temperature difference on a hot summer day. In this project we sourced our materials for the bamboo pavilions, ceilings and balustrades from across the road.

Office

den Bosch

The bamboo façade creates an extra depth in front of the windows that reduces temperature rises inside the building on sunny days. As a result the installations could be reduced substantially.

New European

Bauhaus

We built a pavilion out of full bamboo poles. A showcase of natural building opportunities in the old city center of Brussels. We were surrounded by surprised faces every day.

Estate

"De Houberg"

A building that has at least a lifespan of 300 years, that was the commission. Carefully designed details and long lasting materials contribute to this goal.
