Employing technology to capture wasted heat and form sustainably comfortable and livable cities.

+ STREET ADDED VALUE

As opposed to concentrating design to one area, our plug-ins hope to increase street value throughout the city in a dispersed, efficient, and deployable manner

+ CLOSING ENERGY LOOPS

By addressing the "end" of energy that some might call waste, we hope to truly engage and improve circular energy systems

+COMFORT & WELLBEING

Focusing on public outdoor space can help improve mental well-being in urban life, and is a key step towards realizing a resilient future city
