Energy and sustainability in design encompasses strategies for reducing environmental impact through material selection, energy efficiency, and ecological integration. Designers working in this area develop solutions that balance human needs with planetary limits, from building systems to urban planning.

The community explores renewable energy infrastructure, waste reduction and circular systems, sustainable housing prototypes, ecological retreats, and adaptive reuse of industrial sites. Projects range from net-positive residential renovations and timber construction innovations to transforming fuel stations into community energy hubs and integrating natural canopies into commercial buildings.

Independent retreat (nature balance)

The inspiration behind this project was Alaska’s wilderness and rich heritage, with its diverse materials, patterns and colours. These are reflected by four different shapes of the units, their colours and the use of natural materials. The strong farming tradition in this region and the native cultural heritage, are a part of this proposal.
