regenerative designs can extend to socio-technical systems as a wider context within which buildings are situated [2]. Similarly, they refer to integration of building design with natural and natural support systems such as green and gray infrastructure to achieve a harmonious relationship between building and the natural ecosystem [54]. While restorative designs aim at restoring ecological systems to a healthy state, regenerative designs aim at enabling ecological systems to maintain a healthy state [55, 56]. It, therefore, implies that restoration is ameliorative while regeneration is preventive. In addition, Petrovski et al. [57] investigated the adoption of regenerative design principles in the design and construction of a residential building for refurbishment in Spain through a case study approach. The study revealed reduced costs and minimized environmental impact of the refurbishment process.
