Sustainable Architecture

Today’s buildings should be designed as “Green”, with principals of sustainability, in order to remain viable over their expected lifetimes. We are committed to deliver options to our clients, in an effort to reduce energy consumption and save money, during the design process.

  • Using energy efficient products like lighting, appliances, windows, doors, water saving fixtures and heating & cooling systems during renovation and construction
  • Adjusting the building orientation for not only optional lighting throughout the day, but also harnessing the energy from the sun to heat and cool your home
  • We are firm believers in investing in renewable energy from solar, and wind as well as promoting buying local products that support your community
  • Advising on the right insulation type for your application we ensure that both energy and noise remain in check

We must all take responsibility for our choices and the stewardship of this beautiful, natural world.
