Macro Design Studio provides sustainability consulting services
with the aim of going beyond the simple compromise between
the environmental, social and economic spheres.
Mission
Vision
Macro Design Studio was founded in 2012 with the intention to provide holistic sustainability consulting services. The objective is to go beyond the triple bottom line and to guide clients, designers and construction firms to a new idea of products, buildings and communities that have a positive impact on the environment.
Buildings and construction products have a significant impact on the environment and the compromise between the environmental, social and economic spheres of sustainability (triple bottom line) is no longer adequate. An innovative approach is needed for new buildings, while existing ones need a regenerative approach to repair the environmental damage, for the benefit of future generations.
