ZERO ENERGY FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN - Openbox-group

Posted on 29 September, 2022 by Micheal Alexander

For years OPENBOX ARCHITECTS has a strong belief that alternative, sustainable energy concept is the key of future developments. Energy consumption in developments are one of the highest expenses in business system. Reduction of such expense could be a great benefit in then long run. There are many incentives to encourage the use of sustainable energy sources, such as many certificates and awards. The actual implementation is still far from enough, and is only perceived as CSR for corporate rather to a real solution to save the World. Bangkok Architect

The following could be one of the most important reasons. Provision of sustainable energy sources has been the ‘unseen’ part of the final outcome. It is perceived to be an infrastructure that lacks appealing images to create a powerful marketing storey.

This is where OPENBOX ARCHITECTS could provide a potential solutions, Identity design for infrastructure projects. For years we have been experimenting with many projects including our homes, and OPENBOX Garden Office that we install solar panels that provided 70% of our daily electricity. Though this has started as our personal passion, we know that one day, this shall become the next BIG idea for future developments, and for mankind. Best landscape architects

The Icon Siam solar roof top

As part of our Integrated Exploration, OPENBOX’s  first design intervention involves a solar roof project in the urban area, with a lot of exposures from high-rises around the the area. more than an engineering equipments and infrastructure, we proposed a dynamic and ICONIC ouch to the solar panels layout.

By intensive study of how the panels and equipments are normally installed, many feature could be inserted with minimal additional budget. Techniques include the followings: The use of panels with different colour shades, colours of trimming and maintenance walkway, and finally the angles of panels. With the Integrated Exploration thinking, it is a surprise to test and found how much creativity and make so much difference within limitations. B Grimm Power (not tendering at the lowest price) won the commission of project, showing how Identity could be a valuable investment, and design are always appreciated, even in the unlikely area.
