entrópica designs tropical buildings with lower energy and carbon footprints, grounded in thermodynamics, simulations, climate, and culture.
we are an energy-first architecture lab based in Panamá, designing buildings around the world. take a look:
entrópica’s architectural process
passive first
orientation, shading, insulation, and glazing are optimized before mechanical systems are sized - allowing for smaller systems.
active systems
hvac design follows international performance standards, using only efficient cooling systems tailored to the project.
renewables
solar and battery options are studied only where viable, never as the starting point in design.
from the tropics, for every climate
entrópica is based in panamá, at the center of the tropics. our work, however, is not limited by geography. with expertise in energy modeling, environmental design, and performance-driven architecture, we collaborate on projects worldwide. we adapt methods to diverse climates and contexts while keeping the same scientific rigor and design focus.
