Cholla Vista, designed by Kendle Design Collaborative, is a residence with a canopy of angled ceiling planes radiating out towards the expansive city and mountain views while defining the various volumes. Dynamic volumes of space define the separate zones of the great room and expand seamlessly into the front yard and lush garden backyard—heightening the feeling of living intentionally within nature.

The sukkah gives shades and let the wing go thought while remaining open to the view and let you absorb the view. So they did a Sukkah from aluminum.

Griyoase, designed by Andyrahman Architect, tends to be an “oasis” with an inneryard (inner courtyard) that unites the other spaces around it. This house optimizes the openings so that the light can enter as much as possible and the air circulation can run properly. The inneryard in the center of the house is planted with large Moringa tree. This large inneryard becomes this house orientation. In the design of this house, the architect uses 3 main colors: white, gray and black. These 3 (three) colors are combined in such a way as to create a variation that is not too colorful.

The talk describes two typical projects, that while being sustainable and winning awards for these achievements, have given a great return to their investors and hopefully they can inspire these conversations to galvanize more developers to this movement – besides the obvious ethical and scientific reasons for it, besides the immense return for society, there is the selfish return for the developer.

The Loft, designed by Studio PKA, is an office with a strong affinity for natural light that would be easily accessible by public transit and could also respond to its needs. It is a poetic expression wherein the existing structure’s creation and nature are allowed to take the reins and drive the design forward. Therefore, the need for a critical response to the inherited space, an honest reflection of the context, and a pragmatic functional design order would be true to the space at hand. The transformation of the space alludes to a journey through time – remembering the past, living the present and looking out to the future.
