Urban & Rural Planning

Sustainable Master Planning

Sustainable development begins with a good master plan.  We seek to design communities where nature’s regenerative systems are integrated into the very fabric of life.  Our approach to community planning is both an intervention and an investment. Interventions address eco-system repair and patterns of social dysfunction. Investment builds on what is good and introduces initiatives for zero waste, net-zero emissions, and resilience.  Our triple bottom line approach to developing a thriving built-environment is inclusive, culturally sensitive, ecologically balanced, and appropriately integrates technology.

Resilience Planning

 Global warming is initiating major disturbances and changes in our lives. Our responsibility as professionals is to ensure safety and preparation for the possible but unexpected. 

Appropriate Housing

  Planning for homes and spaces that can serve the higher percentage of the population with limited financial means in providing their needs, a dignified clean functional space with the most efficient use of resources possible. 

Resource Efficiency Management

Planet Earth’s valuable resources are finite. To build a system where human and natural communities can strive, dedicating the right quantity of resources in the service of maximal efficient functionality is a priority. The life-cycle study helps us to avoid material and energy waste.

Designing for Sustainability and Regeneration

Building a project is both an intervention and an investment. Hence this intervention needs to impact its environment positively towards the nurturing of life, natural and human. Investing in a project means ensuring its natural, social and economical sustainability in the long run. 

Serving People

Inclusiveness

Sensitivity to Local Culture and Human Heritage

We make sure to involve all of our project stakeholders from start to finish, most primarily the end users of our built environment. Our round table comprises a multidisciplinary team that offers multiple intertwining lenses to the projects’ conception.

We also want to make sure that our environment is accessible to everyone including people with special needs and disabilities.

Cultural context and history are very important for us to understand so that our projects integrate to the urban web and respond to local people and users needs. Furthermore, people who have lived for generations in an ecosystem have a keen knowledge and experience of its challenges and constraints, and how best to adapt and strive using locally available resources efficiently. A value that helps us design better is our openness to learning. 

Sense of Belonging

Encouragement to engage the community in their built environment through public interactive spaces, gardens, and social gathering circles.

Preserving and Restoring Ecological Balance

Biomimicry

Biophilic Design

Biophilic Design

Understanding nature’s genius, functioning, processes, and systems in order to implement its core lessons into our designs is one of our key practices. Nature’s genius is what allowed diverse living species to evolve and persist for millions and billions of years. This understanding allows us to create more ecologically sustainable designs and interventions.

Deeply understanding the biome we’re building in is also a core DHA-EA value. That allows us to not only preserve but help regenerate the natural ecosystem we build in by cultivating native species, ecological corridors, encouraging agroforestry practices and integrating nature into our built environment, inside and out. 

Minimizing our Carbon Footprint

Contributing to the reduction of global warming is also a responsibility that we hold dear. Hence we strive to integrate low-energy processes within our designs and clean energy sources for electricity such as solar energy. We also place importance on public transportation and the overall reduction of the carbon footprint of our project.
