Incorporating nature
Even the most urban spaces have possibilities for urban nature. Last decades a lot of urban areas have lost their connection to ecology. By integrating urban forms of nature we work on contemporary plans for urban areas with specific attention to climate-adaption. Smart use of grass, trees and natural materials help to reduce excessive heating, rain flooding and monofunctional areas. The abundant or strategic use of climate adaptive elements results in solid, future-proof and contemporary plans.
Promote healthy behaviour
Health is a growing theme of importance in our society. One of the challenges of the future is shaping our living area in such a way that invites to lead a healthy lifestyle. Integrating elements for healthy behavior and physic activities helps, conscious or unconscious, to develope and maintaining a vivid lifestyle. Biking, walking and lingering should form basic ingredients for an every living area. Just a route isn’t enough, the whole ambience and the way it fits in a bigger area is important too.
Enhance local and unique identities.
Historic centers, harbors and warehouses form local identies which in turn, are the DNA of most places. Studying the historic context and remains form the basis of both adding new functions or transforming areas to new development concepts.
