We are committed to a sustainable future.

As architects and designers, we have an obligation to be conscious of the impact that buildings and spaces have on the environment.

In order to do our part to minimize our environmental impact as a company, we embrace the following initiatives:

SUSTAINABILITY ON PROJECTS

We encourage our clients to consider sustainable choices and alternatives throughout any project. LED lighting, environmentally friendly flooring + finishes, locally and sustainably sourced products, and alternative energy sources are all ways that we can implement sustainable practices at the project-level.

As quoted by Architect Carl Elefante, “The greenest building is the one that is already built”. We believe in the value that existing buildings hold - to both their communities and to the environment. As such, we advocate for Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse wherever possible.

DIGITAL-FIRST

We minimize physical printing and paper usage as much as possible by utilizing digital alternatives. We use digital PDFs for markups, do hand sketching via iPad, use e-signatures for signing documents, and use cloud-based file storage.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

As professionals, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of industry education and advancements. We participate in regular continuing education opportunities regarding sustainable industry practices and products.

GREEN ACCREDITATIONS

To foster an in-depth understanding of the various aspects of sustainability and green building practices, we encourage our team to pursue sustainability-focused accreditations like LEED and WELL.
