The term “biomimicry” in architecture refers to the application of principles which are found in nature and translated into the design of sustainable solutions – like the shaded facades of these buildings.
By applying a “double skin”, or by increasing the envelope’s surface area, we can effectively shade the glass line – reducing glare and air conditioning loads, and minimising overheating – while still daylighting the interior and maintaining views out.
Regenerative design solutions will always consider the sun path around the building in all seasons, and optimal solar access. All four façades can (and probably should) be treated differently, depending on orientation.
There is much more that we can do make our buildings energy efficient and comfortable to inhabit – and following principles found in nature is one way to achieve this.
Let’s lower the temperature inside of buildings via strategic biomimicry.
We strongly believe that development should be regenerative – improving outcomes for both the environment and for people.
