Sustainable Design


We believe that every project can make a positiv impact and contribute to a more sustainable built environment. The design approach covers a broad variety of aspects, from the use of renewable materials, the re-use of existing building structures and application of energy-efficient technologies. A well insulated and draught-proof building shell helps reducing the running costs while creating spaces with high living quality.
