How do you make a green environment for people to live in that is also integrated with nature? That’s the question we ask at Caddis as we incorporate the principles of biodiversity in our design. Throughout our work, we affirm the belief that the human world and the natural world can and should be integrated – rather than designing so that housing is over here and nature over there.
