Form Follows Planet.

We emphasize design with environmental considerations at

the forefront, ensuring that architecture supports ecological

balance.

Did you know? the so-called Sustainable Development Goal

13 is called ‘Climate Action‘.

Designing with the planet in mind directly supports climate

action by reducing the carbon footprint of buildings,

embracing renewable energy, and mitigating environmental

harm.

„Form Follows Planet“ reimagines architecture and urban

design as tools to harmonize with the Earth’s ecosystems

and resources. This principle drives innovation, reduces

environmental impact, and builds a sustainable future where

human needs coexist with planetary health.

The Alpenpark Karwendel for example, not far from here, is

a pristine natural landscape that emphasizes ecological

preservation, biodiversity, and minimal human impact. This

mirrors the philosophy of designing architecture and urban

environments that blend with and respect the environment.

„Form Follows Planet“ is evident within this house, but

also the larger context, it is embedded in, for example:

Trail Design: Paths and infrastructure follow natural

contours, minimizing soil erosion and preserving habitats.

Local Materials: Wood from nearby forests is often used

for construction, like with our balkonies, showcasing

how building materials can be sourced sustainably.

These practices embody the idea of designing with the planet

in mind, allowing human structures to coexist with the

natural ecosystem.
