Purpose, Vision, Mission and Objectives for Designing Sustainable Architecture with Biodiversity Integrations -

Our mission is to empower individuals in shaping a superior world. This mission is pursued through innovative sustainability solutions that not only showcase an enhanced way of life but also provide accessible open-source resources for widespread adoption. Our aspiration is to inaugurate an era defined by cooperation, collaboration, and sustainability. We achieve this by exemplifying the potential, streamlining replication processes, ensuring affordability, and enhancing attractiveness. In doing so, we aim to facilitate the global proliferation of constructive and sustainable initiatives.  

Objectives:

​

• Contribute to creating a more comprehensively sustainable world.

• Make sustainable and ecological living a mainstream option.

• Offer the Planning, Permitting and Construction Documents to clients that will enable them to build their projects.

• Become an open-source multimedia resources for sustainable infrastructure with freely available resources when possible.

• Provide a pristine working example of sustainable living to promote proof of concept replicable by others environment across the globe.

• Evolve sustainable solutions based on the current needs of people and their environment with design/architecture lab testing.

​

We bring together our expertise, years of experience, and educational insights to assist clients in realizing their unique visions. Additionally, we curate a collection of recommended strategies for sustainable planning and construction. Our approach involves employing solution-oriented models to showcase the potential of biodiversity and sustainable practices, with the aim of catalyzing a global movement that revolutionizes life on Earth by minimizing our reliance on natural resources. The aspiration for tackling our most pressing challenges with the available resources and technology is shared by many.

In essence, most of us possess the capability to provide nourishment, shelter, and energy for every individual on the planet. Regrettably, these solutions remain inaccessible to a significant portion of the population. However, by granting people access to reliable information and fostering a willingness to address their circumstances, they can learn to craft tailored solutions that cater to their unique situations. Our ultimate goal extends beyond the immediate. We wish to empower individuals not only to absorb knowledge as they build their projects, but also to pass on their skills & knowledge.

Unlike many prevailing movements in sustainable and biodiverse architecture and planning, which draw from historical building systems such as cob, straw bale, adobe, and log constructions, we advocate for an architectural approach that embraces a synthesis of time-tested methods and contemporary innovation. Our aim is to craft architectural solutions that possess robust insulation and structural integrity while adhering to enduring patterns of development. While a minority might be captivated by unconventional dwelling forms like Hobbit houses, tepees, yurts, and geodesic domes, the majority of individuals are naturally drawn to the housing styles they are accustomed to from their upbringing. This team provides whatever style the client seeks with eco-design solutions.

Through the synergy of our planning, permitting services, and accessible open-source resources, our objective is to enhance the feasibility and affordability of projects. This is achieved by harnessing sustainable materials that not only contribute to prolonged lifespan but also amplify energy efficiency, thereby curbing energy consumption and maintenance demands. The resultant architectural forms can span the spectrum from classic to contemporary, catering to a wide array of stylistic preferences.

Some of the primary elements to achieving the best sustainable results is considering each building site and how passive solar and insulation elements can be applied to make every building energy efficient. Natural materials with a long life are best so maintenance is minimal. A hybrid of stone and lime mortar, stucco, charred wood, rammed earth, hempcrete, hybrid concrete, hybrid adobe/cob and timber are some of our favorite materials.The structural strength of all building is important. They must meet local building codes. When possible we prefer high density solutions that leave the natural landscape intact and combined into indoor and outdoor living patterns.

For each of the above areas, there are the different aspects we wish to consider when developing more sustainable plans and models. These are developed in order to make  the buildings replication and adaptation as easy as possible:

• Complete building plans/blueprints and 3D models.

• Cost and implementation needs

• Cost analysis for material and equipment

• Time-investment and labor needs for each component

• How to work with local governments, counties, codes, etc. when needed

• Multi-media reports and tutorials sharing  what is learned through the process

• An updating list of the best places found for purchasing materials, equipment, etc.

• Complete and on-going sharing of experience, development/adaptation, modification, and evolutions created by us and other using the original solution models.

​

These initial solution models hopefully will provide the living examples for people to evaluate, adapt, and evolve the concepts sufficiently to appeal to mainstream culture. As soon as this tipping point in mainstream interest happens, history has taught us that human ingenuity will find a way to work together to create what they want, problem solve where needed, and start thinking differently. Many of the specifics of eco, efficient, artistic, sustainable and technology-rich design have already been thought of and studied. What’s important to understand is that it is possible with sufficient public support, desire, and involvement to still avoid the climate changes and global collapse that many are predicting. It is important to start developing much more sustainable and biodiverse solutions NOW.

We aim to encompass the entirety of the human experience within the context of relationships and sustainably constructed environments. Our motivation stems from recognizing the intricate interconnections between solutions for energy conservation, global food security, housing, education, social inequality, ethical business practices, earth regenerative techniques, and the aspiration for a more enriching way of life. By adopting a holistic approach, we address all these facets simultaneously during the development of sustainable architectural solutions. On this website, you will find a plethora of sustainable solutions under consideration, in development, and already realized. Our approach also draws inspiration from classical and agrarian urbanism, incorporating farm and village patterns that serve to mitigate suburban sprawl and the wastage of natural resources wherever feasible.
