ecological approach

Designing with respect for local biomes, energy footprints, and generational lifespan.

Passive Solar Design

Using orientation, natural light, insulation, and Thermal mass to eliminate up to 90% of traditional heating and cooling bills.

Circular Sourcing

We spec strictly local, reclaimed, or highly-sustainable structural components like mycelium board, hempcrete, and certified timbers.

Living Biomes

Integration of living green roofs, rainwater filtration wetlands, and native plant integrations that absorb heat and filter air.
