Business Excellence Awards 2021

30 Acquisition International - Business Excellence Awards 2021 Best Sustainable Architecture & Design Practice - Colombia AB Arquitectura is an architectural and interior design firm specializing in sustainable and ecologically friendly work. Project by project, it is elevating the standards of its industry and leading it into a more sustainable future, showing its competitors and its clientele just how luxurious and contemporary environmentally responsible design can be. Its work elegantly and seamlessly fits itself into the surroundings; by using the context of the land around it, SAB Arquitectura creates buildings and interiors that are in perfect synergy with nature. This allows it to provide not only comfort, but energy savings. By positioning the house in such a way that it benefits from maximum sunlight, for example, it ensures that those within needn’t waste energy with additional lighting. Its designs and techniques have been developed on the principle of ‘passive techniques’. SAB Arquitectura’s work therefore is unique in its almost effortless aesthetic sensibilities, working with the needs of the place and allowing the use of alternative energy sources. Additionally, this company also offers expert consultancy services. This can accompany a client’s existing architectural design, allowing them to ensure that it is environmentally compatible and sustainable, as well as aesthetically seamless. In this way, it shows its dedication to ensuring each project fits specifications – alongside its environmental work, it considers the needs of the client and makes their dreams a reality. SAB Arquitectura also offers rehabilitation work. When it comes to older buildings, they often struggle to stand up to modern energy efficiency, and so this is where this company steps in; helping increase S comfort and decrease running costs, whilst letting the building retain its historical charm. All its work is delivered by its dynamic and highly professional team, a group of people who are committed to delivering the best of the best, taking on any challenges with gusto. Recently, two such challenges were encountered; one being a single-family home in the tropics, contending with an average humidity of 80% that SAB Arquitectura combatted with an elegant reworked Passivhaus solution, and another where temperature control was achieved using isolation, vegetation, and control of wind flow. When working on a project, it strives to not just make it brilliant – but to make it different. SAB Arquitectura’s work will always stand out from the crowd, something that its clientele credit as exemplary, often working with architectural specialists or private customers, providing them with the best and brightest in new techniques and technologies. By keeping a finger on the pulse of its industry in this way, it displays to its clients how dynamic and vibrant its sector is, showing its market segment just how many options architecture and design has for them that are stunning and sustainable. Despite the great challenges faced by the construction industry due to Covid-19, SAB Arquitectura has witnessed changes in attitudes towards its industry. With more people having to use their homes as the centre of operations for everything in life, there has been a rise in demand for turning those spaces into areas that reflect that. From workplace to leisure areas, and private green spaces that allow the outdoors to be enjoyed in safety, SAB Arquitectura has been able to step in to create the dream house for its clients that is also fit for purpose. Going forward, it will be continuing its good work as it reaches for the goal of recognition in Columbia and Latin America for its environmental efforts, challenging the status quo of its industry and inspiring real change. An environmentally aware and incredibly diligent architecture and interior design firm, SAB Arquitectura is creating the homes of the future in Latin America. Working with modern stylings and ecological synergy that fits the design to the landscape, it hopes the renown it has earned due to this will inspire its wider industry to follow suit.
