About
Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
At Poiesis Architecture, our passion is to create spaces that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable. We focus on Passive House design, ensuring our projects align with the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Our team, including experts like Gregory Beck Rubin and J. Alejandro Lopez, is committed to pioneering sustainable living solutions.
We're proud to showcase the West Don Ravine Passive House, a project that stands as a testament to our dedication to sustainable architecture. This PHIUS+ Certified home is a prime example of how we integrate sustainability with modern living, perfectly blending with its natural surroundings.
Passive House design is at the heart of our philosophy, emphasizing energy conservation through intelligent design rather than relying heavily on mechanical systems. This approach focuses on the building's envelope, optimizing insulation, and minimizing thermal bridges to drastically reduce energy consumption, setting the foundation for zero-carbon buildings.
Our methodology adapts Passive House standards across various project types, emphasizing site selection, solar energy utilization, and building organization from the onset. We prioritize performance, customizing each project to its specific climate and size requirements, ensuring durability, resilience, and sustainability.
A Passive House by Poiesis is designed to last, withstanding extreme conditions while providing unmatched comfort and indoor air quality. Key elements like continuous thermal insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and ventilation with heat recovery are central to our designs, ensuring each building is a legacy for sustainable living.
