Alveoli 2026: Tropical innovation as the standard for tomorrow's construction

Studio Fabrik: Designing circular and bio-based materials

Urban planning can no longer be merely aesthetic; it must be regenerative. The design studio Fabrik specializes in transforming local resources into high-performance urban planning solutions.

• Circular Materials: Reintegration of construction waste and industrial scrap into street furniture and interior design.
• Bio-based valorization: Exploitation of tropical fibers and essences to create building components with a low carbon footprint.
• Resilience Design: Designing objects and spaces capable of withstanding extreme conditions (humidity, UV, cyclones) while remaining repairable.

Evolve: The Start-up Studio that Industrializes Impact

Where Fabrik designs the future of materials, Evolve builds the companies capable of scaling it up. This start-up studio forges technological solutions that incorporate the specific needs of the French overseas departments and territories and tropical zones, often overlooked by mainland standards.

Evolve transforms technological building blocks into business tools, for example:

• BEEnergy is a SaaS software platform that sizes and optimizes energy installations to meet the exact needs of micro-networks with storage, based on a pool of equipment and performance simulation.
• LIVABLE is the collaborative platform that simplifies and secures every stage of the construction project, from design to delivery, by automating low value-added tasks to streamline the relationship between builders and buyers.

Evolve also works on solutions for UV risk on the exterior spaces of buildings, climate risk management in tropical areas, and energy management.

Reunion Island: Laboratory for Tropical Buildings and Sentinel of the Future

Alvéoles' positioning is based on a deep conviction: tropical buildings foreshadow the future conditions of continental Europe. With global warming, the issues of summer comfort, humidity management, and natural ventilation are becoming universal.

"We don't design for an isolated island, we design for a world that is becoming more tropical."

The company acts as a living laboratory. By testing solutions in Réunion—a territory with significant climatic and logistical constraints—Alvéoles validates resilience models that can be immediately exported. This "Tropical Building Laboratory" makes it possible to:

• Validating the durability of bio-based materials in extreme environments.
• Proving the effectiveness of short-circuit circular economy loops.
• To demonstrate that high technology (BIM, AI) can serve a simple and vernacular architecture.

Conclusion: Maturity serving practical use

At Digital Twin | BIM World 2026, Alvéoles isn't there to sell technology for technology's sake. The group is there to demonstrate how, from Réunion Island, it's possible to orchestrate data, design, and entrepreneurship to address the climate emergency.

Fewer concepts, more achievements. Less complexity, more tropical common sense.
