OUR PHILOSOPHY
Urban open spaces should be designed not only empirically based aesthetical and functional criteria but also adopting new criteria such as microclimate conditions, user comfort ,energy saving, reduction of pollutants.
Our team is using modern microclimate measurement and simulation tools. We have developed a design methodology for the creation of bioclimatic open spaces that are functional but also they ensure thermal and visual comfort throughout the year.
In all our projects innovative materials and technology are used in order to calculate the improvement of comfort conditions.
