Resource-Efficient Construction

The massive consumption of resources calls for a change in thinking. The current use of building materials must be critically examined. Smart designs using eco-friendly materials can save a significant amount of valuable resources. Energy consumption and material costs, when considered over the entire life cycle, can generally be reduced through careful planning and well-designed structures. 

Particularly exciting in this context is our earthen construction research project, “Load-Bearing Rammed Earth,” which we have been actively pursuing in close collaboration with Martin Rauch (Lehm Ton Erde Baukunst GmbH, Schlins, Austria) for more than three years.

When it comes to structural timber and earthen construction, as well as the development of green facades, the gbd Group should be your first point of contact. We’d be happy to assist you.



Here is a selection of our past projects:
