𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 : Saving Our World Through Sustainable Design In an era where sustainability is paramount, refurbishment emerges as a powerful tool to rejuvenate our spaces and protect our planet. 𝗕𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲. This approach not only enhances aesthetics and functionality but also promotes energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Through innovative design solutions, refurbishment can transform outdated spaces into modern, eco-friendly environments, supporting a greener future. Embracing this practice allows us to preserve architectural heritage while adapting to contemporary needs, ensuring that our built environment evolves sustainably. The rise of refurbishment is not just a trend; it's a necessity for saving our world. #vinjirawat #sustainabledesign #TAKTIKDesignThinkingLab

🌍 Sustainability: A Key to Our Future 🌱 As an architect, I believe every design should not only serve its purpose but also contribute positively to the environment. 🌱💡 From selecting eco-friendly materials 🌾 to integrating energy-efficient solutions ⚡🏡, I strive to craft spaces that are both beautiful 🎨 and sustainable 🌎. Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsibility. 🤝 How are you incorporating sustainability into your designs? Let’s share ideas and inspire each other to build a greener future! 💬💚 Here an image of the beautiful and careful renovation work of Italy, Ferrara student housing, where our italian teams guided by Elisa Riviera and Francesca Gradanti designed and executed fantastic sustainable spaces. #SustainableArchitecture #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendlyDesign #InnovationInDesign #ArchitectsForChange #BuildingTheFuture #SustainableLiving #joivy Joivy

I love this project - it's a great design, but the process was full of specific details that we, on the engineering side, love 🤓💙 Here are some key highlights: - Studying the cavity wall ties is not something we do in every project. We were asked, "Are these high insulative cavity wall ties worth it?" The answer was that while they do break the thermal bridge, choosing slightly lower quality ties at a lower cost allowed us to allocate funds more effectively elsewhere. - Double volume spaces comfort is impacted by warm air rising. The model showed a significant impact - that summer comfort improved for lower spaces, but the office in the mezzanine needed extra attention. - An EnergyPlus challenge arose with a circular corridor around the courtyard, featuring open connections between spaces. Correctly implementing an air walls to avoid over-distribution of solar radiation was key. This also influenced the design and resulted in adding an extra door to ensure better comfort in the living room. - Obtaining client behavior information, like how and when do you use the fireplace? Asking extra questions resulted in a more accurate mode of operation, which has a big impact on system design and "average energy costs," thus influencing the value of insulation. I hope you can see how enjoyable it was to work on this project! 😀

🌍 At Climetric, our commitment to delivering sustainable design solutions extends beyond the Netherlands and South Africa. Here's a first glimpse in a series of our recent international projects: 🏠 Goch, Germany: We partnered with Thijs Tilkin from Bob Romijnders Architectuur en Interieur to create a 'Domus Italica. Through parametric optimization, we designed a highly sustainable home with superior comfort. 🔥 What made this project so special? Climetric proposed leveraging residual heat from the fireplace combined with displacement ventilation in the apex of the living room. We also supported with the detailed configuration of the insulation composition, comparing multiple packages with different levels of insulation (Rc-values). By examining the composition in the finest detail, we were able to generate significant cost savings while still guaranteeing comfortable living spaces. #SustainableDesign #InternationalProjects #Climetric #EnergyEfficiency #GreenBuilding

We are excited to share that we are one of two finalists on the Radical Innovation Awards! We recently worked on a rather challenging and complex project, developing an idea for the hospitality industry that is based on Circular Design Strategies. Taking Flight is a creative upcycling project that repurposes retired airplane fuselages to create unique hospitality environments, minimizing the need for new construction and raw materials. Designed for easy transport to remote locations, these luxury units offer a plug-and-play approach with utilities integrated in the cargo hold, allowing off-grid operation with renewable energy and water reservoirs. The structure minimizes environmental impact and provides eco-conscious travelers access to pristine natural settings.

Optimising the Outdoor Environment on Retail and Commercial Sites https://lnkd.in/d5uzxmrT The design of outdoor spaces surrounding retail and commercial buildings is crucially important to the site’s long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability. This article explains the multiple benefits that can be realised by property owners and developers when external spaces are well-conceived, innovatively designed and constructed using class-leading quality products. #retail #commercial #outdoorspace #streetfurniture #sustainability

🌟 Sustainable Design: A Necessity, Not an Option 🌿 As architects and designers, we have a unique responsibility to shape the future of our built environment. But are we doing enough to address sustainability in our designs? Sustainable design goes beyond just using eco-friendly materials. It's about creating spaces that respect our planet while enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. From energy-efficient buildings to spaces that promote well-being, sustainable design is both an art and a science. At TAMART, we're constantly exploring new ways to integrate sustainability into every project, ensuring that our designs not only look good but do good. What sustainable practices have you incorporated into your projects recently? Let's share ideas and inspire each other to build a greener future! 🌍✨ #SustainableDesign #GreenArchitecture #EcoFriendly #FutureOfDesign

“Sustainable Spaces: Inside and Out,” a new article by David McCullough, ASLA, PLA, was recently published by Work Design Magazine. David writes: “Leveraging landscape design to support office sustainability benchmarks isn’t simply about fulfilling requirements. It’s about developing strategic approaches to future-proofing businesses.” He elaborates on strategic landscaping for sustainability, common mistakes in sustainable landscape design, maximizing the impact of outdoor spaces and more.
