Description

Some day green architecture will not be a special niche within architecture. Everyone will be doing it, and it will just be "good design." Until then, we'll emphasize our experience in this area, as it is part of our uniqueness.All of our work is based in “lyrical sustainable design”: conserving energy and resources, using healthier materials and finishes, reducing long-term costs, and making poetic places. We work with consultants, contractors and suppliers who share our values. This results in a convivial, collaborative design and construction process. Experience We have been in business for twenty-two years, with the last fourteen years devoted to sustainable design. Each of the more than forty built projects produced by the firm over the last fourteen years has demonstrated many aspects of resource conservation, energy conservation and healthier building. Each project has exceeded energy code requirements by wide margins, in both building envelope and mechanical systems, and in several cases pioneered the use of new energy-saving technology in Washington State. Each project has incorporated reused materials, materials with recycled content and materials from certified sustainable sources. Full-line job site recycling has been implemented on every job. Each project has used materials and finishes that consider the health not only of the inhabitants of the buildings, but of the workers who produce and install the materials, and of the ecosystems from which they are derived. Some of our projects are greener than others, and that's fine with us. But we do understand the benefits, we're good at what we do, and we can take the green aspects of your project as far as you ask us to.
