Biophilic Design brings natural systems, materials, and rhythms into modern architecture to enhance wellbeing and productivity.

Every project is designed to reconnect people with nature, through sensory experience, daylight, air movement, and organic form.

Key Elements We Integrate:

Natural light, airflow, and cross-ventilation

Organic forms and local materials like stone and wood

Views and access to surrounding landscape

Indoor-outdoor flow with shaded transitions

Water and plant integration to enhance calm and vitality

When architecture breathes, people thrive.

Permaculture Design transforms properties into regenerative ecosystems — integrating water, energy, and landscape to create self-sustaining environments.

We apply permaculture principles to both building sites and surrounding landscapes to conserve resources, restore soil, and manage water intelligently.

Our Permaculture Applications Include:

Rainwater and greywater harvesting systems

Site grading and drainage for water infiltration

Drought-tolerant native planting and xeriscaping

Food forest and edible landscape design

Soil restoration and composting integration

Passive irrigation through swales and berms

Every Barragan project is an opportunity to give back more than it takes

Bioclimatic Design adapts construction to local climate — optimizing orientation, shading, and materials for comfort and efficiency.

In Arizona, this means designing structures that work with the sun, wind, and terrain, not against them.

Our Bioclimatic Design Practices Include:

Passive solar orientation and daylight control

Thermal mass and insulation balancing for desert heat

Deep roof overhangs and shade structures

Natural ventilation and evaporative cooling

Energy-efficient systems integrated into design

Landscape elements that reduce heat gain and support microclimates

Bioclimatic design turns Arizona’s challenges into natural advantages.
