Building in Balance with Nature
At Green Solution House we strive for a mutually beneficial relationship with nature. We believe that our buildings can support the natural processes of the landscape and can in turn benefit from the resources in our contextual environment. We gain energy, food, clean water and healthy air from our environment by properly managing these on-site resources. Trees planted on-site are coherent with the surrounding landscape, providing shelter, sun and views where needed. Within our buildings we maximise natural ventilation, recover heat, take advantage of daylight and use exterior planting to reduce solar heat gains, all of which is made possible by how the design responds to and leverages nature. The fan shaped building reaches into the landscape, defining a direct and visual connection with the outdoors. With the help of technology we augment nature’s own processes to clean water and produce energy, all the while reducing our reliance on external resources.
