klimArt's philosophy - Buildings are not to be built on a site, but rather it should grow from the site, as if it belongs there, in harmony with the resources of the site – like the slopes, the rock formations, the trees, and vegetation, the play of hard and soft paved areas, the rainwater collection & harvesting and minimizing surface runoff, building with sun and wind, building to keep heat out in summer and get heated up in winter. And all these form the backbone of contemporary sustainable building philosophy. When you build in absolute harmony with climate and nature, Architecture transcends from the mundane and the embellished sphere to a sublime level of pure art. With this as a philosophy, was born in 1992, a consulting firm called klimArt – the Art of designing with Climate and Nature. In 2001, it became a private limited company.
