We emphasize design with environmental considerations at the forefront, ensuring that architecture supports ecological balance.
Did you know? The so-called Sustainable Development Goal 13 is called ‘Climate Action‘.
Designing with the planet in mind directly supports climate action by reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, embracing renewable energy, and mitigating environmental harm.
„Form Follows Planet“ reimagines architecture and urban design as tools to harmonize with the Earth’s ecosystems and resources. This principle drives innovation, reduces environmental impact, and builds a sustainable future where human needs coexist with planetary health.
The Alpenpark Karwendel, for example, not far from here, is a pristine natural landscape that emphasizes ecological preservation, biodiversity, and minimal human impact. This mirrors the philosophy of designing architecture and urban environments that blend with and respect the environment.
„Form Follows Planet“ is evident within this house but also in the larger context it is embedded in. For example:
Trail Design: Paths and infrastructure follow natural contours, minimizing soil erosion and preserving habitats.
Local Materials: Wood from nearby forests is often used for construction, like with our balconies, showcasing how building materials can be sourced sustainably.
These practices embody the idea of designing with the planet in mind, allowing human structures to coexist with the natural ecosystem.
