Practice Ideology
RP Architects is an architectural and urban design firm focusing on sustainable, energy-efficient, minimalistic design with a climate- and environmental-responsible approach. Established in 2015, it works on the design and materials of past techniques to match the needs of the present and the future.
Their design principles are based on:
– Works on the design principles of the great architect Charles Correa, “Form follows Climate.”.
– “Minimalist design” approach for the design and material usage in the spaces designed.
– Solar passive design, using natural energies around us to enhance the spaces designed inside and outside our built environment.
– Reduce, Reuse, Recycle —the 3 R’s for a sustainable building.
– Use of local materials and local skilled techniques in the design.
The goal of a sustainable architecture firm is to design and construct buildings and spaces that minimize negative environmental impacts while maximizing positive social and economic benefits. This involves integrating principles of environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, and social equity into every stage of the architectural process, from planning and design to construction and operation.
