Orange Architects believes that we can make a better living environment together. Our holistic view on sustainability is an important design ambition in all our buildings right from the very first sketch. We work on the basis of a broad definition of sustainability, built upon three pillars: World We Value.
Going beyond making just an environmental impact, we declare the improvement of social dynamics and civic appreciation as equally vital considerations to envision a more sustainable future for all.
Within this page our mission is outlined and illustrated to provide guidance, to educate and to inspire. With the goal to incorporate and unite these themes in all of our projects, from initial idea to completion. This is how we want to create buildings and communities that positively influence the quality of life.
World We Value
World
We want to have a positive impact on nature and the environment with our buildings. We can achieve this by carefully selecting sustainable materials and reducing the consumption of energy and water. In addition, we aim for flexible and circular buildings that can adapt to changing needs or can be partly reused. Nature-inclusive building is an important aspect that we try to integrate into all our designs.
We
We design with the conviction that a well-designed environment has a positive influence on the health and well-being of its occupants. In this way we create spaces that stimulate social interaction through healthy and comfortable interior climates. Spaces that encourage people to exercise and take the stairs instead of the elevator. We make buildings for active users, where spatial mobility concepts and sustainable means of transport are integrated into the design in a logical manner.
Value
Our ambition is to create added value for the local context, not only physically but also in a social and economic sense. That is why we devote so much attention to the environment of the building: attention for the spatial quality, the programming and the solidity of our designs, as well as the lifecycle costs that they entail. Our goal is to create spaces and buildings in consultation with and embraced by their users, ensuring they are of lasting value for their surroundings.
