No Footprint Wood House

The No Footprint Wood House is located along the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Its bioclimatic design integrates with the surrounding lush tropical forests and natural habitat. The project forms part of the multi-award winning No Footprint House series. Climate-responsive building variations are based on passive design strategies. Industrial building techniques and prefabricated components are combined with locally harvested and regenerative construction materials. The project promotes integral sustainability in terms of its social, economic, environmental and spatial performance.

Playful Hut

Playful Hut is reusable packaging designed for a large energy storage product. The packaging is made from biodegradable corrugated and honeycomb cardboard, which provides load bearing strength and cushioning during transport. Tongue-and-slot connections replace glue and plastic. Easy-tear perforations allow users to open hollow spaces and remove paper blocks, so the outer box becomes a playhouse and the inner tray becomes toy furniture. The box unfolds on four sides for easier handling. The aim is to reduce material waste and extend the useful life of packaging.

Briiv Pro

Briiv Pro is an air purifier designed for use in homes and offices. Briiv Pro replaces fossil-fuel derived plastics with bioplastics, moss, coconut fibre and recyclable glass. The unit stands 30 centimetres tall, measures 16 centimetres in diameter and weighs 1.3 kilograms. An onboard air quality sensor allows Briiv Pro to adjust the fan speed automatically. Control is possible through an LED interface, a proximity sensor for touchless use, or a mobile application. Several units can be linked to clean the air in larger spaces. Power use and filter replacement costs are kept low.

Designer: hb+a Architects Work: Zero Energy Resilience Hub Tag: Sustainable Product

Box Factory

This Zero Energy, low carbon project has operational data that confirms its actual performance. It is an all electric building that relies on onsite solar to meet its energy needs, with heat pumps providing heating and cooling. Careful siting and form work as hard as the systems, with the building oriented to local wind patterns and sun angles. Box Factory integrates climate resilience, innovation, and community impact through thoughtful design. During the 2022 Electra Fire, which burned 4,500 acres in Amador County, the project proved itself resilient and climate ready.

Floating House

The Floating House is a three-level home located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The building measures about 400 square meters and is placed on a sloping hillside site. Passive design strategies guide the project, including site-specific positioning and the use of natural resources. Industrial and prefabricated building techniques are combined with locally harvested and regenerative materials. Large roof overhangs protect the spaces below from rain and solar radiation. Solar energy is collected on the roof. Terraced gardens and balconies face the surrounding landscape.

Spiral ECO3

The Spiral Christmas Eco3 is the first artificial tree made entirely from 100 percent recyclable materials that is completely recyclable at the same time. Unlike traditional models that combine plastic and steel, this design features a patented spiral frame made from recycled, fire retardant pet plastic. It flat packs to reduce co2 emissions, assembles in under a minute, and includes USB-C powered lights with international plugs. Compact, sustainable, and easy to store, it offers a modern, planet friendly alternative to conventional holiday trees.

Circea

Circea is a collection of sustainable stationery and bags made from industrial waste materials. The set includes colored pencils produced from heat treated non toxic wood pallets, a pouch made from discarded anti static workwear, and a tote bag made from retired factory trousers. The wood is pre processed with schools in Taiwan, which adds educational value to the process. The pouch can also be used as a coin purse or a card holder, and the tote bag has several pockets. Circea aims to keep materials in continuous use and to reduce waste in daily life.

Regen

Regen introduces a graphic system where living root structures function as both visual language and material substrate. Instead of printing on inert surfaces, communication emerges through controlled biological growth. Each artifact operates simultaneously as a visual message, living organism, and biodegradable outcome. By aligning legibility with ecological cycles, the project reframes graphic production as a regenerative process, proposing an alternative model where communication evolves, transforms, and reintegrates into natural systems rather than generating waste.

Designer: Yutaro Kumagai Work: Clasp Purse Tag: Sustainable Product

Ringo Gamaguchi

This product takes the shape of an apple because it is crafted from Ringo Tex, a synthetic leather derived from apple waste. Its dimensions are based on the size of a real small apple, emphasizing its origin. Its main feature is its slimness, not usually seen among clasp purses. This was achieved by adopting a sewing approach different from conventional purses, allowing the structure to remain thin. The intention was to create a product that can easily fit into bags or pockets, allowing coins and other small items to be carried smartly without adding much bulk.

Boomerang Athens

Conceived as an urban oasis on Lycabettus Hill, Boomerang Athens presents a calm architectural presence shaped by controlled openings and a vertical shading system that regulates privacy, light, and heat. A refined palette of metal, wood, and marble adds warmth to its minimalist character. The rooftop forms an elevated living landscape with a pool, and the illuminated Boomerang Pergola defines the silhouette at night. As the first leed platinum certified residence in Greece, the house combines sustainability and high environmental performance with everyday comfort through knx programming.

The Sun House

The Sun House is a sustainable building designed to generate and reuse energy on site. The roof and exterior walls are made of solar panels with a total capacity of 65.57 kW. The interior is built mostly from recycled cypress timber, reshaped into ceilings, flooring, furniture and partitions. A heat pump system circulates heat to regulate the temperature, and collected rainwater is stored in a ten ton tank for garden irrigation. The building provides 440 square meters of indoor space and aims to be self sufficient.
