Net-Zero & WELL Building
for Sustainable Design.
Recognizing the microclimate of each project is essential for sustainable design. Natural habitats experience extreme temperature shifts and strong winds, which must be considered when integrating healing gardens, courtyards, and naturally ventilated spaces.
