Sustainability
We place Sustainability at the core of our way of working, as an important value we build our business upon. Each of our developments is brought to life having in mind the future wellbeing of both individuals and community.
25% of the total global gas emissions producing significant climate changes are caused by construction operations; we aim at decreasing this percentage by preserving the natural habitat, using technical solutions and materials with low carbon impact and ensuring operational sustainability for the entire lifespan of our developments. To certify strong sustainability targets are constantly maintained, we work closely with reliable professionals, specializing in environmental analysis.
Carbon impact:
According to the latest analysis of Climate Action Tracker (CAT), our planet’s atmospheric temperature is in danger to increase by +2,4˚C till the end of this century. This is an important topic to us, therefore we work with a sustainability team to develop a comprehensive assessment of both embodied and operational carbon. Part of this process, we measure emissions during the construction phase and the subsequent building in-use over several years. The results are analysed and compared for all our current developments.
Environmental approach:
The ecological impact of our projects is steadily assessed by our environmental engineering team to mitigate the impact of climate change. We request our design partners to be compliant with circular economy strategies, future-proof solutions that ensure efficient use of natural resources, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. Committed to accelerate climate action, we developed an analytical framework focused on major themes of sustainability such as: wellbeing, community impact, land and ecology, energy and carbon, social equity, planning for change.
Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility:
We support charitable initiatives connected to environment protection and education, investing time, skills and funds to make a real impact.
We are pioneers in building green, and all our developments are “Green homes” certified by Romania Green Building Council.

Sustainability
We place Sustainability at the core of our projects as an important value we build our business upon, not only because we care about the health and wellbeing of our clients, but we also believe any development should be holistic and respectful to the needs of the planet as well. To this purpose we provide our clients tailor-made solutions optimized for their inhabiting and community needs, but also for the environment needs.
25% of the total global gas emissions and atmospheric warming are caused by building construction and operations; we strive to decrease it by using technical solutions and materials with lower carbon impact, preserving the natural habitat and ensuring operational sustainability for all our developments.
We hire the best specialists in environmental analysis, environmental and structural engineering, material research, carbon impact assessment, landscape and workplace design, together with the design teams, supervise our projects to ensure the environmental targets are constantly maintained and implemented over a typical lifespan, including design and construction stages, fit out and future refurbishment.
Carbon impact:
Studies revealed that if we continue business like we do, our planet’s atmospheric temperature is in danger to increase by about +4.2˚C. Even if all buildings are designed to comply with best practice, global temperatures would still rise by 3˚C due to carbon emissions. Incited to bring a contribution in order to reduce such increase, our sustainability team developed a holistic approach and a comprehensive assessment of both embodied and operational carbon. We work with an academic team to measure both the construction phase and the subsequent building in-use over several years that allow us to evaluate our projects for whole life carbon impact. The results are then analyzed and compared for all our current projects and conclusions help us take measures accordingly.
Environmental approach:
Environmental performance of our projects is steadily assessed by our environmental engineering team in order to mitigate the impact of climate change. We solicitate our design partners to be compliant with future-proof solutions that ensure efficient use of natural resources, circular economy strategies, thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Environmentally driven and seeking to enhance the lived experience for all, we developed an analytical framework focusing on sustainability major themes such as: wellbeing, community impact, land and ecology, energy and carbon, social equity, planning for change.
Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility:
We are very committed to sustain educational and charitable initiatives investing our time, skills and financial support in order to make an impact. Our CSER policy is designed so as to apply our sustainable principles to our entire operations. Measures such as implementing carbon management plans, targeting the practice’s whole-life carbon emissions are aimed to drive down energy consumption and deliver lasting benefits.
Wellbeing
Wellbeing derives from a healthy and high-quality environment that we are constantly preoccupied to protect and improve.
Community Impact
If a project is successfully integrated into the local community, it has an impactful social and economic effect on the users and surrounding communities.
Energy and Carbon
This principle makes us permanently attentive to optimize projects’ energy performance by stimulating the use of renewable energy and offsetting carbon emissions.
Land and Ecology
Without a healthy ecosystem and well-preserved natural habitat surrounding the building, we can’t talk about a good #QualityofLife. Therefore, we are deeply aware and respect the importance of this principle in the conception of our projects.
Social Equity
Aiming to offer added value through design, optimization and performance in all aspects of our projects is our way to ensure prosperity and social equity in the communities we place our work.
Planning for Change
Inspired by this principle, we nurture future thinking in all the phases of the design process.
