About Us

Our Story

We are a diverse group of dedicated professionals who add value and their expertise to a vision that is constantly evolving and expanding. We are motivated by a mutual goal to implement regenerative solutions that build a resilient and hopeful future for all local stakeholders, and beyond.

We have participated in multiple local and global projects to demonstrate the benefits of sustainable construction, regenerative landscaping and social inclusiveness. As a result, we are constantly learning, cultivating new ideas and widening our scope of work. Repeated engagement with diverse contexts has enhanced our capacity to include, understand and fulfill the needs of all those involved. 

Our initial work involved designing and building fully self-sufficient homes. We have since extended our scope of work to include public and private sectors, as well as humanitarian and disaster relief efforts.

Our Approach

We embrace an adaptive response and appreciate challenges as opportunities for growth and the integration of new solutions. This holistic approach provides research and promotes education across all spheres and communities. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates in establishing designs which reconcile the gap between development and respect for the natural environment. And thus, our systems are designed to work equitably, efficiently and with synergy.
