Green Attitude: Inherently sustainable design





Aleks Istanbullu Architects’ commitment to sustainability is inherent in every project we design. Our high performance buildings respect and enhance their site, are carefully oriented to make maximum use of sun and shade, natural ventilation, and views, integrating passive design with state-of- the-art technology. Our systems - oriented design approach allows us to look at the bigger picture and find the optimal balance between minimal expenditure of resources and their highest and best use. Preservation and reuse of existing structures and materials are essential aspects of our approach to sustainability and satisfy both our aspirations to reduce waste and our delight in the poetry of bringing to light what is already there.
