We do ongoing research related to practice within the “Sustainability triangle”- where a balance of technical, social and economic factors factors are taken into account. Some of the technical research undertaken in various projects include:
- Green roofs - both intensive and extensive on flat and pitched roofs
- Green walls - interior and exterior - incl. substructure and irrigation
- Eco pools/ swimming ponds- enviromentally friendly pools with bio and plant filters - no chemicals
- Solar heating - for underfloor and water heating applications
- Passive building design in all climates ensures low energy requirements for heating and cooling
- Rammed earth walls- using soil from site to build your home/ parts thereof - aesthetically modern and cost saving
