Why did you become a founding member of VIVIUS?

‍Sustainability has been a central theme since our firm was founded in 1997. From the very beginning, our focus has been on reducing energy consumption in building construction—both through structural measures and through the use of efficient energy systems and renewable energy sources.

Becoming part of VIVIUS represents a logical next step for us on this path. The network’s goals align closely with our own convictions. We are confident that, with our experience, we can make a valuable contribution to achieving these goals.

What advantages does the collaboration bring you as a start-up company?

‍Innovation doesn't happen in isolation, but through exchange and collaborative thinking. We are convinced that those who are willing to share their knowledge will, in turn, gain new perspectives and valuable insights.

For us, networking is a key factor for success—and VIVIUS provides exactly the kind of space where expertise, experience, and vision can come together. Collaborating within the network helps us think outside the box and continue to grow.

What specific measures are you taking to promote sustainability in your business and embed it in the long term?

‍As a design firm, our greatest strength lies in designing sustainable construction projects—this is where we apply our deep conviction and expertise to implement resource-efficient and energy-efficient solutions.

‍We are also consistently committed to sustainability in our own operations: We analyzed our carbon footprint and found that trips to construction sites and client meetings account for the largest share of our emissions.

‍In response, we have taken several measures:

‍We reduce travel whenever possible by using digital meeting formats.

‍In addition, we have replaced our two old diesel company vehicles with modern electric cars—an important step toward more climate-friendly mobility.
