Macro Design Studio provides sustainability consulting services with the aim of going beyond the simple compromise between the environmental, social and economic spheres.
The company guides its partners in the certification process according to the most accredited protocols of the national and international markets: LEED®, WELLTM, BREEAM®, RESET®, WiredScore, Living Building ChallengeTM, GBC, Fitwel℠.

Vision. The environmental impact of buildings and products is significant and the compromise between the environmental, social and economic spheres of sustainability (triple bottom line) is no longer sufficient. An innovative approach is needed for new buildings and regenerative for existing ones, to repair the damage to the environment for the benefit of future generations.

Mission. Macro Design Studio was founded in 2012 with the intention to provide holistic sustainability consulting services. The goal is to go beyond the triple bottom line and to guide clients, designers and companies to a new idea of products, buildings, and communities with a positive impact on the environment.
