Archetype Sustainable Design
We are building today shaping tomorrow
Archetype Group is a long-time player in green buildings design, collaborating and advocating with public and private environmental organizations, committed to a zero and low carbon footprint. As one of the leading design firms in 20 countries, Archetype Group is committed to deliver projects that are built to last and leave positive impacts on society and environment.
By incorporating Sustainable Design Principles into our normal course of work, Archetype Group has made a substantial investment in putting our beliefs into practice by establishing a dedicated Team for Sustainable Design.
Archetype has, through its experts and its network of professional consultants, extensive experience in delivering certified green building projects. Although we have the technical knowledge to work with any recognized Certifying Green Agency, we have focused our efforts and knowledge on the number one and fastest growing “green” brand in the world, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) program, LEED®, as well as the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) program, LOTUS, in Vietnam, the France Green Building Council and the Green Building Council Indonesia.
In Asia-Pacific and in Africa, Archetype Group also partners with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) on EDGE, an innovative tool that can be used to determine the financial viability of a green building project at the early design stage and is also a green certification system for emerging markets.
