Approach : Sustainability

Sustainability. Not a color; not a certificate.
(AND CERTAINLY NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT.)

We have taken a leadership role in the creation of environmental awareness in the building industry since 1998, well before it was fashionable. Simply speaking, we carefully consider the impact of the built environment on the world for every project.

The US Green Building Council’s LEED™ Green Building Rating System has become the de facto standard for sustainable design in the building industry around the world. We understand this process and have successfully led many projects through LEED certification over the years. However we also understand achieving LEED certification does not always align with our client’s interests. We’re okay with that.

As your architect, we think beyond labels like “green” or “platinum certified.” Working with your budget and your project goals we will create an attainable path to sustainability with your best interests in mind.
