PHILOSOPHY

At Bio­cli­mat­icX we strive to look at build­ings as part of nature. Together they can cre­ate a syn­ergy that can lower energy bills, increase indoor air qual­ity, and increase pro­duc­tiv­ity of the build­ing and the inhab­i­tants. We enthu­si­as­ti­cally embrace a recon­struc­tion of nature, just as we would ‘the real thing.’ Humans have a strong pro­cliv­ity to Nature and by guid­ing the design process with a sus­tain­able approach that reduces over­all envi­ron­men­tal impact while inte­grat­ing ‘recon­struc­tions’ of nature, we achieve a prod­uct that gives peo­ple a new per­spec­tive on ‘Nature’ and ’systems-thinking’ and ‘ways of liv­ing.’ We try to draw from the fields of bio­philia, bio­cli­matic design and archi­tec­ture, perma-culture, hor­ti­cul­ture, land­scape archi­tec­ture, genet­ics, hydro­pon­ics, and aqua-ponics. As designer, or just as humans, we are stew­ards of the earth. We think these things are going to be very help­ful things in build­ing a sus­tain­able com­mu­nity, things like grow­ing your own food, or grow­ing plants to clean air will help us achieve a more sus­tain­able lifestyle for 100% of Humanity.

CATCH PHRASE

Inte­grat­ing Cli­mate and Energy in the Built Environment

BIOCLIMATIC

WHAT A STRANGE NAME?

Well, it comes from the idea that we want to design all types of bio­cli­matic buildings–like a school, church, fac­tory, recy­cling cen­ter, hos­pi­tal.  So its a fill in the blank, like in alge­bra, you can sub­sti­tute X for any­thing, and at Bio­cli­mat­icX we want to design all types for bio­cli­matic buildings.…or maybe, just maybe it stand for Bio­cli­matic Xtreme!.…jk!
