About us

Our vision

At Respyre we believe in nature’s intelligence and resilience. Nature has perfected its ways of keeping the planet healthy for billions of years; it is up to us to imitate its structures as closely as possible to live more in a more efficient, happy, and sustainable manner.

Our mission

We aim to make nature-inclusive building easy and sustainable. Therefore, we will implement one of nature’s most influential pioneers. Moss. Our goal is to tackle environmental, urban, and health problems by utilizing moss in- and around cities across the globe.
