ENERGY.  Our firm is committed to designing homes with exceptional energy performance. We can also help clients reach aggressive performance standards, such as Passive House and, the firm's namesake, zero energy.

CARBON.  Avoiding fossil fuels, minimizing operational energy, using renewable energy to offset consumption, and selecting materials with low embodied energy that sequester carbon are all standard firm practices.

DURABILITY. We design building enclosures for optimum management of heat, air, water, and moisture flow, helping ensure long-term durability with minimal maintenance, creating homes that lasts for generations.

THERMAL COMFORT.  A combination of passive and active techniques with no drafts maintains the preferred temperature year round - even, predictable, and comfortable.

AIR QUALITY.  Positive indoor air quality is vital to occupant health.  We use strategies to minimize pollutants within the home and design ventilation systems to ensure a constant supply fresh outdoor air.

WATER.  Points of use such as bathrooms, kitchens, and landscape should combine beauty and functionality in a design that enables water efficiency. Options are available for water conservation, capture, and reuse.

ACCESSIBILITY. General principles to enable long term aging in place and accessibility can be discussed and considered for each design.
