How Lexus and Arch. Liza Morales drive green innovation and luxury with purpose

- By REY ROBES ILAGAN

In design, architecture, and even the way we move from one place to another, there are projects that simply follow trends, and then there are initiatives that set the pace for the future.

Lexus has long stood at the forefront of innovation and sustainable luxury, but what makes its latest collaboration truly compelling is how it goes beyond technology and mobility.

Partnering with Architect Liza Morales of Ecotecture Design Studio, Lexus redefines what it means to live and move sustainably, blurring the lines between green mobility and responsible design. It's not just about creating solutions for the future, but about showing how these can already be part of today's standard.

Design for good

For Morales, sustainability is more than a box to tick for compliance, but it is the very foundation of her practice. At Ecotecture Design Studio, where she is founder and principal, she has built a reputation for creating spaces rooted in three words she lives by: authentic, sustainable, timeless. From bespoke homes and resorts to large-scale commercial projects, her approach has always been guided by conscious design choices that respect people and the environment.
