Frequently Asked Questions
Built Around Better Answers
Clear answers for architects, designers, businesses and project teams.
What does GreenLiving's R&D team research for commercial interior projects?
GreenLiving’s R&D focuses on improving how interior solutions are designed, manufactured and used. Research areas include modular design, sustainable materials, manufacturing efficiency, computational design and advanced fabrication, with the aim of developing interior solutions that balance performance, adaptability and environmental considerations.
How does GreenLiving test new materials before integrating them into interior solutions?
GreenLiving’s material research explores alternatives such as biomaterials, recycled materials and other environmentally responsible options. The R&D process considers factors such as performance, durability and environmental standards before materials are considered for practical interior applications.
What is Design for Sustainable Manufacture and Assembly (DfSMA) at GreenLiving?
DfSMA is an approach used to consider how an interior solution will be manufactured and assembled while it is still being designed. GreenLiving uses this thinking to simplify assembly, reduce rework and improve manufacturing efficiency while considering material usage and environmental impact.
How does GreenLiving use digital twins in interior solution development?
GreenLiving’s R&D explores digital twins—digital representations of physical assets—as a way to monitor and optimise performance. This creates opportunities to study how a solution performs beyond the initial design stage and use that information to support future optimisation.
How is AI being used in GreenLiving's research and design process?
GreenLiving is exploring AI-driven design as part of its computational sustainability and fabrication research. AI algorithms can support the generation and evaluation of design possibilities, particularly where environmental performance, functionality and efficient use of resources need to be considered together.
How does GreenLiving's R&D help move an innovative interior concept towards real-world implementation?
GreenLiving brings R&D, design, engineering and production teams into the development process so that ideas can be evaluated beyond the concept stage. Through its co-creation approach, early ideas can be developed with design, engineering and manufacturing inputs, helping determine how an innovative concept can translate into a practical solution.
