What makes the NEST sustainable?
The goal of the NEST is for its presence on the Earth to be as small, simple, and sustainable as possible. Its size searches for the absolute minimum necessary to sustain its function as a purposeful, private and special space. That function is of course defined by its owners, but the simplicity of its design makes the NEST ultimately sustainable. This means the NEST refuses to be consumptive. Its modular design minimizes waste and is as close to 100% recyclable as possible. Decoration is eliminated to increase the focus on its essential meditative spirit. At the same time, it is clean, strong, and deconstructable, which makes it not only relocatable, but its materials can be reused, expanded, and reconfigured.
