Our goals

Knowledge Platform

Creating and getting knowledge by participating in workshops, lectures and talking with experts. In the future, the aim is to create a research group and a knowledge platform were all our knowledge can be shared with our stakeholders.

Designing long term

Helping communities displaced by earthquakes through an innovative collaboration that provides secure long-term housing by using new sustainable methods and materials of building earthquake proof buildings.

Construction for people

By using local materials, understanding the geographical & cultural situation, understanding the climate and by talking to people to learn their wishes prioritizing, we aim to construct with and for people.

Our principles

We are devoted to designing earthquake-resistant housing solutions, ensuring safety for everyone in vulnerable regions.

We insist on offering cost-effective housing solutions, providing equal opportunities for safety and comfort to all, irrespective of economic background.

Sustainability lies at the core of our projects, fostering self-sufficiency within communities and promoting ecological balance.

We are committed to creating modular designs, allowing adaptability to fit diverse cultures and local preferences. Modularity is fundamental to our innovative approach.

We prioritise community engagement, avoiding conflicts of interest, and ensuring user satisfaction. Active involvement in the community is integral to our design philosophy.

We believe in the power of diversity and actively seek varied expertise and backgrounds. Collaborating with individuals from different disciplines enriches our perspective and knowledge.

We are advocates for knowledge-sharing. By disseminating our expertise, we aim to empower others, creating an open-access knowledge platform to prevent errors in the building and design processes.
