Climate change is no longer just an “Inconvenient Truth” but a living reality as we witness daily disasters caused by global warming. Violent storms, heavy snowfalls and unbearable heatwaves, hurricanes and cyclones, flash floods, rampant wildfires and drought are all evidence of climate change wreaking havoc on people and property.
Sustainability is a way of life – it not only impacts how we experience the world today but will for generations to come. When it comes to living sustainably, we often focus on the big picture: reducing waste, conserving resources, and protecting the environment. But what about the little things? What about the products we use daily and incorporate into our homes? Here’s where high-quality, environmentally friendly products shine, with leading names in the sector like Eva-Last setting the standard.
The realities of modern urban living and increased urbanisation mean smaller spaces, both indoors and out. However, limitations in square meterage need not equate to a compromise in comfort or style. Quite the contrary. With the technical advances of modern building materials such as bamboo composites from Eva-Last and a few clever tricks, even the tiniest outdoor areas can be transformed into inviting and functional retreats.
As design professionals, we’re always searching for new inspiration. However, we know that fads can quickly change and it’s important to find those timeless trends that offer value in the long run. One such trend that’s gaining momentum is composite building materials. This is fast becoming a go-to choice for architects, builders, and designers, and with trusted brands like Eva-Last, the choice becomes even simpler!
Eva-Last, a leader in innovative bamboo composite products, is excited to announce its renewed partnership with PowerHouse Building Solutions in British Columbia, Canada. This partnership is one of many key strategic alliances to successfully transition from Fortress Deck Products to Eva-Last Americas following the acquisition in August 2023.
As the allure of outdoor living spaces continues to grow, homeowners are looking for cool ideas to enhance their exteriors, making them more comfortable, functional, and visually appealing. One of the key elements in creating an inviting exterior environment is striking the right balance between sun and shade. This delicate equilibrium can be easily achieved with the help of Eva-Last, experts in bamboo composite building materials renowned for their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.
Global composite building materials manufacturer, Eva-Last proudly participated in this year’s AIA Conference on Architecture and Design which took place in Washington D.C from 5-8 June 2024.
Bringing together the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, the annual AIA event embraces diverse solutions across the built environment and leverages the collective power of designing a more sustainable future.
Cladding provides a stylish protective layer for buildings that enhances aesthetics while shielding them from environmental factors. Recent advances in material manufacturing have enhanced the functionality and finishes of cladding with modern composites being preferred to traditional materials such as stone, timber, or other cladding materials.
Fashions and fads come and go, but buildings and architecture leave a legacy. Architecture both reflects and shapes the society it serves. As a discipline, it provides a functional framework for fashionable structures that convey contemporary building trends and materials. As an art, architecture speaks to the prevailing preferences, problems and cultural norms and values of society at the time.
Lighting is a powerful tool we can use to transform our homes – inside and out. When it comes to our exterior spaces, lighting can add new heights of sophistication to a beautiful deck or cladded area. It’s a simple yet effective way to create ambiance and enhance the functionality of our everyday spaces.
