I'm not sure what they are trying to say here. Thanks for any help. A "geometra" is talking:
"Le nostre scelte aziendali – spiega XX – si sono sempre più orientate alla bioedilizia e bioarchitettura, perché nel tempo abbiamo sviluppato un modo di pensare e vedere le cose del tutto nuovo, creativo. La scelta bio, nel rispetto dell’ambiente e nella ricerca di un mondo più pulito e naturale, *porta il nostro modo di essere ad integrarsi* pienamente nell’architettura, come dovrebbe essere stato da sempre".

If you interpret it as I did that the "we" is the firm or the architect and not the inhabitants, I think it does justice to the concept in the original. If you interpret "nostro" as a more general everybody and therefore inhabitants, then yes.
