Our Workshops
Are you looking at making your project more sustainable? Our experts will work with you on ideas for integrating as many sustainable materials as possible, taking into account your budget and technical and aesthetic constraints.
The Workshops
Workshop Inspire
2 hour exploratory workshop in our Materatek
An all-encompassing introduction to sustainable material selection, this workshop explores every aspect of your project—inside and out. We guide you through material strategies for foundations, structural systems, building envelope, interior spaces, and finishes. It’s the perfect start to get a holistic view of material choices and set clear expectations for your project.
Workshop - Design & Build: Site, Structure & Skin
2 hour exploratory workshop in our Materatek plus technical follow-up
This session dives deeper into the key exterior elements of your building—focusing on site-specific strategies, structural choices, and the building envelope. We assess options for bioclimatic design, structural performance, and energy efficiency, providing you with actionable insights to optimize your project.
Workshop - Design & Build: Services, Space Plan & Stuff
2 hour exploratory workshop in our Materatek plus technical follow-up
This workshop focuses on the interior systems and services. We help you optimize the design for disassembly, reuse, and comfort, while ensuring high performance for acoustics, fire safety, and indoor air quality. We also explore innovative approaches to space planning and finishes.
Exploratory workshop
Together we go through the plans and the various items in the project to explore the possibilities of alternative materials.
Technical support
We examine the selected proposals, taking into account technical and budgetary constraints, with the entire project team.
Validation of specifications
We make sure that the items are correctly integrated into the technical/tender specifications report to ensure a smooth transition to the construction phase.
FAQ
For what type of projects is this support relevant?
Renovation & new build; residential, offices, industrial, schools and crèches, retail ‘public spaces’.
We're open to discovering new types of project
What is the additional cost of a more sustainable project?
There are lots of materials. It depends a lot from one project to the next. But generally speaking, we work to a closed budget. I.e. we propose materials that will have a minimal impact on the existing budget.
When is the best time to call?
As soon as possible 😉. In order to provide you with the best possible support, we need a budget framework and fairly defined spaces. So the ideal phase is when the sketches are finished.
