Sustainability is becoming non-negotiable in design. However, incorporating sustainable practices can often be challenging, met with resistance, and difficult to implement. Despite these challenges, there are architects and interior designers we can learn from who have successfully overcome these obstacles and seamlessly woven sustainability into their design ethos.
These design professionals serve as beacons of inspiration, showing us that creating beautiful and functional spaces is possible while prioritizing sustainability. By learning from their experiences, we can gain valuable insights into the strategies and techniques used to navigate resistance from clients and peers.
