Sustainability & Biomimicry

Sustainable architecture is not an added option: it is our starting point. Biomimicry teaches us that nature has been solving for 3.8 billion years problems we are only beginning to discover, how to ventilate, how to structure, how to economise, how to endure. All our projects, from housing to public facilities, Arbre Blanc, Mille Arbres, Ecotone, Flying Garden, integrate the principles of the living: low-carbon materials, reversibility, passive energy, biophilia. Manal Rachdi has made this bio-inspired approach the signature of OXO, from the founding of the practice to its most recent projects.
