Our vision is to plan and implement projects that produce zero_{CO2 emissions} and prioritize sustainability. To achieve this goal, we have developed several strategies that we intend to consistently implement in the coming years.

Putting our vision into practice presents us with new challenges every day.
One way to build more sustainably and reduce emissions is to work with renewable resources. Timber construction is an ideal choice, as it typically generates about 15% less_CO2than traditional concrete construction. In the field of insulation materials, there are now also many products made from natural materials (e.g., flax or hemp) that can certainly compete with conventional insulation boards made of rock wool or polystyrene in terms of insulation performance. However, concrete remains indispensable in many areas (underground garages, stairwells) for the time being. An important and often neglected aspect of a construction project’s_{carbon footprint} is so-called “gray energy” (the energy required for the extraction and transport of raw materials, manufacturing and processing, and the demolition and recycling of materials). If this aspect is taken into account, it is possible that rock wool insulation has a better overall energy balance than flax insulation, which must first be imported at considerable expense.

We are convinced that economic and environmental considerations must be combined to bring about a genuine shift in thinking within our industry.
The challenge lies in creating buildings that are not only energy-efficient and constructed from renewable materials, but are also affordable for the majority of the population. Furthermore, functionality and design should be well balanced.
The market has already responded to this. New building materials made from natural resources are constantly being developed, and existing technologies (e.g., solar panels) are being adapted so they can be incorporated into aesthetically sophisticated projects.
However, it will still be some time before properties built exclusively from renewable and visually appealing materials become available. However, we do not want to sit idly by; instead, we are already striving to turn our vision into reality as best we can!

To offset the_CO2emissions that are currently still generated for economic or structural reasons, we collaborate with partners in the fields of reforestation and ocean farming. By supporting reforestation projects, we replace the wood used in our projects. Ocean farming involves the cultivation of kelp, commonly known as seaweed, which has the ability to store large amounts of_CO2.
