Sustainable Architecture
Meta.atelier's mission is to help reduce the negative impacts of the built environment through efficient and smart design projects.
Four main benefits of sustainable architecture:
1.
Reduce utility costs
A sustainable house consumes up to 90% less eletricity and water compared to a standard one
2.
Increase thermal, visual and acoustic comfort
An healthy interior space increases comfort and productivity levels and reduces stress and anxiety
3.
Minimize environmental impact
The construction field is one of the main causes for global warming and lack of natural resources
4.
Make buildings as self-sufficient as possible
Produce electricity through solar energy and reuse grey and rain waters to be more independent from the public sources.

Meta.atelier is a Lisbon based studio focused on bioclimatic and sustainable architecture. Featuring international collaborators from across the globe, it was established to meet the growing demands of a changing market in which geographic boundaries are diluted for new uses of space and emerging technologies to be pursued.
Our design is dependent on the specific objectives of each project while respecting the constraints of place and the environment. We always strive to optimize a building's performance and minimize its environmental impact.
Projects are coordinated in close partnership with the engineering team, builders and of course you, our clients. This ensures that project quality, budget control, transparency and on-time delivery are optimized. Our studio supports innovative technologies and tools, with payment in Bitcoin also accepted
