§ Research
Grounded in research, not marketing.
Terraforma's designs rest on published building science and first-hand study of comparable projects. This page is the honest, growing record of that work.
Net-Zero Energy Buildings
NZEB standards and how they apply in the Romanian and EU regulatory context.
Earth-integrated construction
Earthship lineage, rammed-earth thermal mass, and earth-bermed envelopes.
Passive solar design
Glazing angle, orientation, and thermal-mass sizing for year-round comfort.
Autonomous water cycles
Rain catchment, greywater reuse, and constructed wetlands — and their legality.
Building-integrated food
Indoor botanical cells and their realistic contribution to a household.

Reference library in progress
We're compiling the sources behind every design decision. Request the current reading list and we'll share it.

Field visits underway
We study built precedents on-site before we recommend a system. Visit logs will appear here as they happen.
