Zegreenlab Construction
Pioneers in the development of construction materials based on vegetable fibers
Our mission is to produce homes and furnishings that support sustainable efforts, creating a more harmonious relationship with humans and nature.

About Us
Bioclimatic
Architecture
The construction industry is among the most polluting on earth. It is also the most closely linked to human quality of life, as buildings can last for generations. The sector is fundamental to the fight against climate change and human misery.
At Zegreenlab, we focus on bioclimatic architecture for the development of new technologies and industrial resources, allowing architects and engineers to build resilient edifications that take advantage of renewable resources, reduced waste, better space conditions as temperature, airflow, humidity, and fire resistance. It will give to your visitors or guests a more harmonious habitat with nature and our human qualities.
We work towards these United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
