Building Better.
For People. For the Planet.
At Dezeno, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is woven into every decision we make, from the materials we source to how our team commutes to site.
We recycle or compost all construction waste — wood, metal, tiles, drywall. Plastic has been fully banned from all our sites since 2018. Used carton boxes replace plastic bags for small-sized trash.
↓ 10% total waste · 30% recycledWe help clients source recovered construction materials — tiles, decking, and wall finishes — through homa2u.com, giving leftover materials a second life and reducing demand for new production.
80% of clients since 2022We specify FSC-certified timber, bamboo, cork, and formaldehyde-free laminates across our projects — materials built from renewable sources with minimal environmental impact.
5% formaldehyde-free built-ins in 2023Solar panels and solar water heaters are installed in our landed residential projects, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering long-term utility costs for homeowners.
20% of landed projects (2022–2023)Motion-sensor lighting and smart thermostats are installed throughout our office, ensuring energy is only used when and where it is actually needed — a practice standard among leading European design firms.
Active since 2022Where quality and specification allow, we give preference to locally sourced materials to minimise transport-related emissions across our supply chain — a procurement principle widely adopted by Japanese contractors.
Reduces supply chain carbonOur office pantry has eliminated all single-use plastics. Staff use reusable cups, bottles, and cutlery — extending our on-site plastic ban into our daily working environment.
Office-wide policyOld laptops, phones, and office equipment are channelled through certified e-waste recycling programmes — keeping hazardous materials out of landfill and responsibly extending the lifecycle of our devices.
Ongoing programmeAll staff participate in annual sustainability and ESG training — covering environmental best practices, safe material handling, and our carbon reduction commitments. Modelled after Japanese firm standards for continuous staff development.
Annual programmeAll internal approvals — project sign-offs, procurement authorisations, HR documentation — are handled through cloud-based digital workflows. No printed drawings, no paper trails. Fully traceable and auditable.
Fully paperless approvalsOur Desa ParkCity showunits are fully built using ENF-grade, zero-formaldehyde boards — medical-grade, 99.9% antibacterial, and VOC-free. Designed to be safe for pregnant mothers, young children, and the elderly.
Using AI design software, designers output 2D/3D drawings that feed directly into robotic production in China — automating board planning, cutting, and edging with near-zero material waste. A dramatic improvement over conventional in-house factory methods.
“We don’t just design beautiful spaces — we take responsibility for how those spaces are built, what they’re made of, and what they leave behind.”
