Sustainable architecture as a tool for a healthy living environment
At HOP, we believe that we can actually contribute to a more sustainable world by our experience and enthusiasm. By minimizing the negative effects of building and designing in innovative ways, we make living environments greener, more energy efficient and healthier.
Sustainable solution
We advise and encourage clients in sustainable solutions, and advise about subsidies. In doing so, we do not compromise on living quality, comfort and luxury, but we ensure that the carbon footprint is kept as small as possible. Often a sustainable design also contributes to comfort: clay plaster, for example, provides a very pleasant and healthy indoor climate.
Our process
You are unique, as is your project. However, these 5 different phases within the design process are the same within each project (based on general architect regulations set forth in the DNR 2011, percentages below are rough indications)
