Just before ending 2024, studio 4215 wrote a paper/sumarry of our work approach. We always focus on early-stage design input, to be able to apply environmental thinking and shape projects before the design becomes constrained. Our workflows, take advantage of cutting edge simulation engines, and ensure our design input responds best to climate and location. One such tool is ENVI-met that enables us to assess things like materiality, vegetation and effect of water features in outdoor comfort, even at a very early stage. Our "palette studies" create a set of guidelines for Architects and Landscape Designers that can shape the design from day 1. In this study, our very own Gursharan Randhawa and Joao Pedro Silva, profficient in the use of #envimet are showcasing some of those early stage findings and the way we work. #environmentaldesign #outdoorcomfort
Ever wondered how the materials and trees we choose can make a city feel 10 degrees cooler? London's studio 4215 is doing just that, and we're excited to share their story. Using #envimet's environmental modeling, they're helping architects and designers make smarter choices about outdoor spaces. Their Palette Studies show exactly how different design elements affect the way we experience outdoor spaces. As Byron Mardas from Studio 4215 puts it: "Our early-stage methodology empowers design teams to shape outdoor comfort by comparing material and landscape impacts, ensuring climate-aware choices from the start." Here's what makes their approach special: - Strategic tree placement for optimal microclimate creation - Water feature integration for enhanced cooling effects - Material selection based on performance under extreme conditions Want to see the full study?
