Comfort On Demand

Concept Design, 2010

The General Services Administration (GSA) partnered with Metropolis Magazine to release an open invitation for design ideas to transform its existing Los Angeles 800,000sf facility into a net-zero building. Our solution was based on the concept that utimately people, not buildings, use energy. Working with Beau Trincia and Taylor Keep, Nash developed a concept for a furniture-integrated, user-controlled, heating and cooling system, that provided the users of the building with “comfort on demand” while delivering a net-zero-energy campus. Beau ended up exponentially expanding this idea and partnering with Andrew Krioukov and Stephen Dawson-Haggerty to launch Comfy, which has since become part of Siemens AG.
