We find the recent elevation of “green design” as a special subset of architecture a bit distracting. For in addition to sustainable and efficient, our work also needs to be beautiful, comfortable, affordable and well-organized. So, don’t look for an "eco" logo on our drawings or web site. That’s not to say it’s easy being green. It takes enthusiasm, a lot of research and a will to look past the most obvious ways of building to reduce the environmental footprint of modern construction. We have LEED Accredited designers guiding this work, and are happy to see our buildings sit more lightly on their foundations every year.
