Ecoist Architect

A story of craft, dream and purpose “5 years ago, in an architecture professional practice class, we were tasked to visualize our own design firm. I envisioned a sustainability centered venture where Green Designs are not only perceived as an ECO-friendly alternative to traditional homes but also an ECOnomic opportunity. Challenging the perception of “going-green” as an unnecessary option but rather a sensible investment for a healthier environment with financial benefits.” - Ar. Jolina Allanne Garcia,uap Ecoist According to urban dictionary, Ecoist means an individual that lives a modern, eco-minded lifestyle. We believe that architecture should cater into our inherit need to affiliate with nature in the modern built environment.
