Echo Tech Design
Ecotechdesign is shipping container homes design and architecture company located in Los Angeles, California, under the inspired and creative leadership of architect and designer, Walter Scott Perry has been involved in green design, currently referred to as ecofriendly sustainable thinking and architecture for over 40 years, having been a pioneer and leader in the net-zero passive solar eco design movement successfully incubated in Santa Fe, New Mexico and birthed in 1972, by the famous oil embargo crisis.
Ecotechdesign collaborative architecture approach has been developed in projects over many years in order to seamlessly integrate architecture and design with material systems research and shipping container homes construction, as well as encourage professional and political participation to solve possible problems more quickly and effectively.
Ecotechdesign designers and architects pioneered the green sustainable team design approach during the 1990’s.
The 4 company subgroups are: ecotechdesign, ecotech consult, ecotechr+d, ecotechbuild, located in Los Angeles, California.
The practice is a diverse and full-service shipping container homes design collaborative that examines and explores practical ways to integrate client needs, project cost limitations, physical construction, energy conservation opportunities and innovation with local climate and living systems in a timely and responsive way. It embraces the philosophy that all things are inter-connected and merely exist at different levels of perception and reality, some large and some small, some visible and some hard to see. Embracing a whole systems thinking approach to problem solving, it explores patterns at all scales from macro to micro to explore and develop ways to integrate natural and man-made materials and systems. The design process is a problem-solving approach that considers design, engineering and space-making as an organic process of investigation, discovery and collaboration. This results in a practical and functional, yet aesthetically balanced and responsive, organic architecture.
Using a building kit design approach that utilizes plug-in components, units (shipping containers), ecotechdesign incorporates a hybrid architecture/design approach. Like the hybrid automobile design, this method combines different building and engineering technologies and sustainable energy systems to maximize energy, liveable spatial and project cost efficiencies that result in practical engineering solutions while achieving substantial architectural variety and design flexibility. Ecotechdesign explores and researches the use of conventional/traditional building systems, techniques and materials, shipping containers, combined with innovative solutions developed by its research subgroup ecotechr+d that investigates new ways of combining old available materials to solve new problems. Solarshade technology which was used to cool hybridhouse is a beautiful example of the innovative and progressive use of readily available and low-cost materials, technologies and systems to passively change microclimate and cool a shipping container home or any building.
