Sustainable Design & Energy Solutions
"We have a simple approach to sustainable design and remodels: we go after the simple and cost-effective low hanging fruit first, and then look at the smaller details of each project. Every project is different."
“With simple design decisions, you can reduce the average energy consumption in a house by 30%-50% without installing the first piece of equipment. This is why working with an architect today makes sense.”

LEED Registered New Construction
The Stack House
This new construction home was guided by principles of sustainability and modernity.
This project is registered under the LEED® green building program. LEED is the preeminent program for the design, construction, maintenance and operations of high-performance green buildings.
It was very important to the owners that this dwelling be resource efficient, positively influence the health and wellness of the family, and maintain low operating costs. The owner’s project requirements fit within the goals and requirements of the LEED for Homes Rating system. Our basis of design was to establish a contemporary dwelling that heavily focused on sustainable site and efficient irrigation, energy use reduction, thermal comfort, sustainable material selection, and passive systems.
