PBDG’s design submission is in the final review process after being invited as one of the qualifying firms for the ICIMOD Eco-House Design Competition! Our Regenerative Practices and Living Pod designs have been developed for the purpose of regenerating community and meeting the needs of the ecology and people, so we are so happy to have the opportunity to design Eco-Houses for ICIMOD Living Mountain Lab in Nepal. This exciting project will definitely open up huge opportunities for sustainable design everywhere.
The Eco-House project will be a catalytic act of inclusive, sustainable design that will set the tone for the Living Mountain Lab’s future development. In addition to providing accommodation to guests visiting the LML, the project will serve five primary purposes:
1) It will promote Ecological Resilience by showcasing a wide range of sustainable design strategies and technologies.
2) It will foster Equity by promoting low-cost, culturally responsive and accessible approaches to building and landscape construction.
