01

Renewable
energy sources

Photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, recuperation — houses that work for themselves.

02

Plus-energy
buildings

Produce more energy than they consume. Architecture that gives back.

03

Energy
efficiency

Thick hempcrete walls, passive solar gains, bridges reduced to zero.

04

Healthy
construction

Breathable materials. Zero toxins. Zero indoor smog. Health as construction.

05

Natural
materials

Wood, straw, hemp, lime, clay, stone. Everything that returns to the earth.

Reveal I / IV

Living material:
wood, straw, hemp.

Every house is a forest, field, and quarry that just paused halfway. We build from what grew here before and what will return here after us. No PVC, no styrofoam, no compromise.

Reveal II / IV

House in the landscape.

We don't build boxes. We start with site analysis — directions of the world, winds, shadows, tree density, site history. The house grows into the ground so that it fits like a sleeve to an arm.

003 · What we do

Three ways to
start with the studio.

SRV · 01

Dome house design

Full architectural design from concept to building permit. Geodesic domes, spherical, hybrids. Single-family homes, studios, recreational facilities. For every climate and every budget.

SRV · 02

Site consultation

The only service of its kind in Poland: geodesic, historical, and energy analysis of the site before purchase. Sun, wind, geology, law, neighborhood. You know what you're buying. You know what you can build.

SRV · 03

Hempcrete workshops

Three-day hands-on workshops: you mix, tamp, and build a section of wall with hemp, lime, and wood. Live, with an architect and contractors. For landowners and professionals.

Reveal III / IV

The house breathes
with light.

A good dome house doesn't have air conditioning. It has geometry. Light enters where we need it in the morning. Shade falls where we want coolness at noon. Air circulates on its own. Without devices, without bills, without noise.

004 · Process

From the first conversation
to the first morning.

01

Site audit

Physical, historical, and energy analysis. We decide if it's buildable.

02

Design

Concept → building design → permit. Together with the client, layer by layer.

03

Implementation

Specialist contractors for hempcrete, dome carpentry, and natural plasters.

04

Handover and living

We hand over the house and teach how to live with it. A dome house is not an apartment — it's a practice.

Reveal IV / IV

From sketch to
construction.

Every project starts as a sketch on paper. Then a model. Then a frame. Then a roof. Then a house where you can brew coffee and watch the sun rise over the forest you didn't cut down.

005 · Credibility

20 years in the healthy building association in the Netherlands. Publications in Healthy Building and Living. The only site analysis for eco-building in Poland.

„I don't design houses for people to live in. I design them so they stay healthy inside them — physically, mentally, and economically. That's the whole difference."
