Material intelligence

Low-carbon materials with low off-gassing.

We select materials for thermal performance, durability, and indoor air quality. Every finish is evaluated for VOC content and long-term emissions.

Preferred Material Palette

CSEB Walls

High thermal mass and low cement content reduce both energy demand and embodied carbon.

Bamboo + Timber

Rapidly renewable structural members and shading systems with warm natural character.

Lime & Clay Plasters

Breathable wall finishes that buffer humidity and reduce mold risk.

Mineral Paints

Low-VOC, durable finishes with softer, more natural light reflection.

Off-Gassing Minimization

  • Specify low-formaldehyde boards and adhesives.
  • Limit solvent-based finishes and sealants.
  • Use natural fibers, wool, and cotton for soft furnishings.
  • Plan for post-installation ventilation and material curing.

Indoor Air Quality Promise

We evaluate each product for VOC levels and durability to keep indoor air clean over time.
