Biome Environmental Solutions

We are a multidisciplinary firm working on ecological architecture and intelligent water and sanitation designs since its inception in 1990. Through our work, we strive to showcase that an ecological design practice can be mainstream and relevant in various contexts, including geography, typology and scale, balanced by the client’s aspirations for aesthetics, functionality and budget.

This effort has been especially focused on the urban scenario, using materials and systems to create a language of action that is not bound by preconceptions of what defines architecture. Every project is a test bed for developing this language, using a collaborative multidisciplinary approach grounded in informed decisions.
