What is green or sustainable design?
As architects, we believe the goal of sustainable or green home design is to eliminate the negative impact of construction on the natural environment, eliminate the consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize construction and fabrication waste, and promote a healthy living environment. Sustainable architectural design addresses site specific criteria, energy consumption, energy sources, material selections, water conservation, indoor air quality and operational / maintenance costs. We incorporate aspects of sustainable design in our home designs and commercial projects to the extent chosen by our clients.
