sustainable architecture
Environmental issues are an integral part of L'OEUF's design process.
L'OEUF's design philosophy is analogous to natural phenomena and can be summarized by the following principles:
- Waste equals food.
- Use current solar income.
- Encourage diversity.
In each project, L'OEUF attempts to simulate these natural principles in building. We have succeeded in a number of projects in demonstrating the cost-effectiveness and the environmental benefits of waste management, reuse and recycling. We are very conscious of the interaction of the sun with a project - making the most of daylighting, passive solar gain as well as controlling glare and excessive heat gain. We take particular pleasure in conceiving projects that encourage diversity, offering a variety of accommodations for various lifestyles.
