In the world of sustainable design, which is generally<br />
interwoven with the energy and environmental aspects of<br />
building, human sustainability frequently falls off track.<br />
Combining these three elements can develop a design based<br />
on an awareness of human dependency and negotiation<br />
with nature. Similarly, an architectural design trajectory<br />
that considers every dimension of architecture and treats<br />
it as a physical structure with an interactive relationship<br />
with nature and human users has laid the conceptual<br />
groundwork for a parallel approach to sustainable design<br />
and good quality of life. This is the path that the Bangkokbased<br />
consultancy GreenDwell has taken. Raksak<br />
Sukonthatam and Sirithip Hantaweewongsa, architects<br />
and LEED-accredited professionals, founded this architecture<br />
and sustainable consulting firm for quality dwelling with<br />
an attempt to propel and integrate multiple dimensions<br />
of sustainable design into every process and facet<br />
of green architecture.<br />
