WHO WE ARE
Crea Lab is a multidisciplinary research and design laboratory dedicated to advancing sustainable solutions in energy, water, buildings, and communities. We integrate research, development, and design practice to address environmental and societal challenges with measurable impact.
Our experience spans:
-
Research projects in affordable housing, climate resilience, disaster resilience, solar energy, and performance-based building design.
-
Surveys and field studies to understand household needs, resource use, and community priorities.
-
Workshops and training on natural building materials to revive traditional skills and promote low-impact construction.
-
Community engagement initiatives to co-create solutions that are locally relevant and culturally sensitive.
Co-founded by Dr. Pratheek Sudhakaran, a renowned building scientist and expert in climate-responsive architecture, Crea Lab is driven by a mission to blend scientific rigor, creative design thinking, and participatory processes. We work with institutions, governments, and grassroots organizations to develop strategies and projects that are innovative, data-driven, and rooted in sustainability.
WHAT WE DO
Building Knowledge,
Shaping Communities.
At Crea Lab, we research, design, and develop solutions that make buildings, communities, and cities more sustainable, resilient, and people-centered. Our work spans energy efficiency, water management, climate and disaster resilience, affordable housing, and solar energy integration. We conduct in-depth research studies, data analysis, household surveys, and field assessments to understand real-world needs. Through hands-on workshops on natural building materials and collaborative community projects, we translate findings into practical, locally relevant solutions. Whether developing policy recommendations, designing performance-driven buildings, or co-creating strategies with communities, we bring together scientific rigor, design innovation, and grassroots engagement to create measurable, lasting impact.
