Project Types
Design PhilosophyOur projects encompass the growing movement involving an integrated approach to sustainable design, in which each component is seen as equally critical to the whole and all decisions are carefully weighed according to their long-term impact. A sustainable building is designed with sensitivity to the site position and surrounding natural environment, constructed using sustainably-harvested local building materials and finishes, consumes a minimum of energy, and understands and serves the needs and well-being of its occupants. We recognize that designing sustainable buildings is a fundamental part of architectural and communal responsibility. A number of our staff members are LEED-accredited and we continually strive to meet and exceed basic green building requirements in our projects. |
