Atmos lab:
Show moreIn a context where human impact is leaving a costly imprint on its homeland, Atmos Lab helps architecture face the environmental challenges of our time with built-in common sense.
Playing with temperature, sunlight or wind, we provide architects a climate-responsive frame of mind, and healthier solutions to build with: more efficient, more comfortable, more sustainable.
With new tools for calculation and new angles for interpretation, we reinvent the dialog between engineering and architecture.
Atmos Lab always seeks the fairest solution, the clearest course of action, and the most direct way to report its work.
We care for simple answers, we stand up to simplistic views.
