The Sustainable Approach

Sustainability, or 'green' design,  is part of every project, every design

Every site is different. The design starts with understanding the environment and context of each project. Analysis of the climate, the sun and wind exposure, as well as existing and potential buildings in the neighborhood of the project is a first step in the design.

Good insulation, airtight construction and an insulated, dry foundation are key elements. The payback in constructing well cannot be overvalued. A well designed, well constructed home gives back to the owners for years.
