Carlos Bausa Martinez aims for high comfort standards, while looking for different ways of blending modern architecture interested in this type of eco-architecture. He is a Spanish Architect specialises in computational design and environmental simulation and founder of WLAB Studio that intends for a different approach that could help them generate Net Zero buildings with neutral carbon balance. “Since I started with W-LAB, I wanted to create projects that could help people to reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort and living standards. With the Tree Canopy Ecovillage Project, the idea was to create a solution for those who want to stay in remote natural locations, without sacrifciing on modern comforts, minimising the impact of architecture in nature. I believe both can coexist in the same location. That was the reason to build these cabins on top of light structures, to create an iconic tree top community, so nature can go on without major human disruptions below” says Carlos defining his design proposition.
