HOW IT WORKS
Nature has spent 3.8 billion years perfecting how to sustain life. Every ecosystem—whether a forest, a wetland, or a coral reef—manages its own energy, water, and waste locally. We apply the same principles to architecture.​ Autonomous buildings are designed to produce their own energy, collect and treat water, grow food, and manage waste—without relying on external systems. Green infrastructure, like green roofs, vertical gardens, and constructed wetlands, brings nature back into cities to clean the air, cool buildings, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental impact.​ By designing our buildings and cities to work like nature, we create spaces that are healthier, more resilient, and more self-sufficient—for people and the planet.
NATURE BASED HEATING & COOLING
Reduce Energy Consumption up to 80%
Nature based heating and cooling systems draw on ancient design wisdom to reduce energy use and improve comfort. By using passive solar heating, thermal storage, and underground ventilation, buildings can naturally stay warm in winter and cool in summer—without mechanical systems. These methods harness the sun’s energy, store heat in the structure, and cool air through earth tubes, creating healthier spaces that work in harmony with the environment.
WATER PRODUCTION
Reduce Water Consumption up to 75%
For fresh and drinking water supply, the roof & landscape of the building are designed to catch rain & snow water and store it in underground water tanks. The water goes through a series of filters and cleans the water to drinking water quality. The yearly precipitation of the climate and the expected consumption are the main factors for calculating the amount of water storage needed. Water harvesting is also an practices that date back to ancient civilization.
NATURE BASED WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Reuse up to 100% of the waste water
Nature based wastewater systems can be designed to treat water at any scale—from individual homes to entire cities. Using plants, soil, and natural processes, they clean wastewater without using chemicals, making them safe, sustainable, and efficient. Even in dense urban areas where space is limited, compact constructed wetlands and modular solutions can be integrated into buildings, rooftops, or public spaces—turning waste into a resource while supporting biodiversity and improving urban resilience.
FOOD PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Produce up to 80% of your own food
The nutrition values of today's food have fallen to concerning levels due to soil degradation. Centralized food production has also proven to be extremely vulnerable to global crises such as pandemics, conflicts, and climate change. To ensure a healthy and resilient future, we must produce food locally. Therefore, we have innovated an automated food production system that produces food and recycles greywater from buildings. This system works in all climates and produces food all year round.
GREEN WALLS & ROOFS
Bringing Nature back to cities
Vertical Gardens & greenroofs are a innovative way of using unused facades & areas to develop living ecosystems. Vertical gardens are a living work of art that allows buildings, homes, and public spaces to be covered with beauty. It is also the most practical way to renature urban areas. Vertical gardens & green roofs also provide multiple benefits to the cities: they raise biodiversity, improve air quality, reduce traffic noise and promote human well-being and social cohesion.
NATURAL SOURCED ELECTRICITY
Off-grid energy solutions using Nature Based Technologies
For electricity and hot water services the building use solar panels and collectors in combination with wind mills if necessary. Power is collected during the day and stored in batteries to provide electricity at night and cloudy days. The hot water is heated by solar collectors and has a backup system that always make sure the water temperature is comfortable. As the building has a natural heating and cooling system that does not require any energy consumption the amount of energy needed is only for lights, outlets and pumps.

ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION
Regenerating the soil and the natural water cycle
Today more than 75 % of the Earth’s land areas are substantially degraded, and if this trend continues, it is estimated that 95 % of the Earth’s land areas could be degraded by 2050 (IPBES). Buildings and cities can help restore biodiversity, soil fertility, and increase air and water quality. By making nature and ecosystem services become a fundamental part of buildings' operations, inhabitants will restore ecosystems by simply inhibiting the spaces.
