Following a sustainable lifestyle is important even when you are traveling, as eco-conscious travel blends innovation with environmental responsibility. By focusing on renewable materials, energy efficiency, and waste reduction, travelers can make eco-friendly choices, and designers can create products that support sustainability and functionality. Whether it's durable luggage or solar-powered gadgets, thoughtfully designed items help reduce a traveler's footprint. As more people seek meaningful and responsible journeys, sustainable design plays an important role in shaping the future of travel and protecting the planet.

The sustainable Hortus office building creates a modern and flexible working environment for a new generation of technology companies that are settling in the Basel metropolitan region. Our client, Senn, commissioned us to design a radically sustainable office building made of renewable and recyclable building materials. The brief initiated a design process aimed at combining the lowest possible grey energy during construction, an energy-optimized concept during operation, and a surplus of self-generated energy.
