Emmanuel Pauwels is a Regenerative Practitioner (a person actively engaged in developing themselves and their practice with the capacity to create entities and processes that are ongoingly regenerative). He is a highly communicative, practical, and reliable individual who lives in the world of the five senses. He is curious and needs mental variety in life. He has an analytical and critical side and is an eternal student, enjoying rapport and exchanging ideas with people.
He is ambitious, enjoys material comfort and everything sensual and nature-related. When we look at the way we design and build our buildings, the only way forward is by creating good green buildings. Buildings that lead to improved health for homeowners, reduced impact on the environment and profit for the building industry. Emmanuel is a strong believer in a new paradigm for the Real Estate Industry which is based on trust based team formation, early collaboration, built-in sustainability and transformational leadership.

“You can regenerate everything, your relationship, your life, whatever project you’re working on in your career. It’s more about what happens in the place than the actual built infrastructure. How does it impact humans? What’s the social impact of communities? What new interaction do you develop with nature? You realize that the building is a catalyst for something else to happen.”
