For more than two decades, the studio has been a pioneer in Zero Energy and Low Impact Solutions’ focused practice, treating each project as an opportunity to push initiatives beyond code minimums toward truly climate responsive design. This long term focus is amplified through the Box Lab initiative, which serves as an in house testbed for zero energy, low carbon prototypes, new assemblies, and circular material strategies that can then be scaled across the broader portfolio.
