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 />
