Rebloom

Taiwan's power distribution components are expensive and require frequent replacement due to environmental factors. reBloom offers a solution by repurposing decommissioned crossarms into durable outdoor frames with minimal processing. The modular design allows for easy adaptation, extension, and part replacement, resulting in maximum component lifespan before recycling. With reBloom, you can reduce waste and save on costs while ensuring reliable and weather-resistant infrastructure.

Photosynthetic City

Photosynthetic City is a combined solar and biomass energy system designed for existing city buildings. Solar panels on steel frames are mounted on the roof, while planting modules made of recycled injection molded plastic cover the building surface. The planting modules have small holes that guide excess rainwater downward, so every plant receives water and nutrients. Plant waste is collected and burned in a combined heat and power steam turbine to produce electricity. The plants also store carbon, clean the air and reduce noise, lowering the demand for traditional energy.

Luf

Luf is a seedling tray made from loofah fiber. Luf replaces plastic trays with a biodegradable material formed from crushed loofah, a bio-based adhesive and a curing agent, which are heated and pressed in a mould. The trays stack together, so one person can carry more than five trays at a time. Each tray is divided into three independent parts and can be cut along marked lines. After the seedlings mature, the tray is planted into the soil, where it breaks down into nutrients. Loofah seeds can be collected and used for further cultivation.

Doaba Dhaba

Doaba Dhaba is a sustainable food packaging system designed for a cloud kitchen in India. Main dishes are packed in handis, clay pots handcrafted by local artisans, closed with a clay lid and a label tied around the neck. Flatbreads such as rotis and naans are wrapped in freshly cut banana leaves tied with jute thread. Both items are then placed in a bag made of recycled paper. The materials are biodegradable and replace single-use plastic. Deliveries are made by electric vehicles to reduce the carbon footprint.

SeeTang Collection

SeeTang Collection is a set of products made from an algae based biomaterial. The collection includes an instant dish with edible packaging and bags. The inner packaging of the instant dish is cooked together with the food, as the biomaterial dissolves in water and is safe to eat. The outer packaging can be recycled or composted. The bags are made from the same material and are dyed with natural colours such as saffron, onion skin, hibiscus and coffee. The collection offers an alternative to single-use plastic bags. The design aims to raise awareness of marine conservation.

No Footprint House

The NFH is developed for serial production, based on a larger toolbox of prefabricated residential typologies. A first prototype was built for a European family in the southwest of Costa Rica. They chose a two-bedroom configuration with steel structure and pine wood finishes, which was shipped to its target location on one single truck. The building is designed around a central service core in order to optimize logistical efficiency regarding assembly, maintenance and usage. The project seeks for integral sustainability in terms of its economic, environmental, social and spatial performance.
