Building in Harmony with Nature
One of the most beneficial, abundant and friendly sources of energy is the sunlight, which is also our primary source of inspiration. Taking advantage of what is given to us for free, the sun, the wind, the water, makes good sense environmentally, economically and aesthetically.
Therefore buildings should be:
EARTH-FRIENDLY – using as much as possible local and renewable materials, with a minimum amount of energy, from extraction, processing, shipping of materials to installation, operation and maintenance of the building.
CHECKBOOK-FRIENDLY – using energy efficient methods and materials for long term cost saving, as well as efficient and robust work practices to minimize waste and cost overruns.
USER-FRIENDLY – developing intelligent, personalized design solutions for an effective and healthy space, incorporating /implementing healthy /appropiate indoor appliances /enhancements such as Masonry Heaters as a source of heat and beauty.
