ZERO NET ENERGY HOMES

The ZED Difference

High performance isn’t an afterthought at ZED, it’s a foundational part of our design process.

From the first conversation, architecture, mechanical design, and financial analysis are developed together, as one integrated system. Each decision is informed by how the building will perform, what it will cost, and how it will feel to live in.

This unified approach produces buildings that are not only efficient, but deeply comfortable, resilient, and precise in every detail.

GREEN ARCHITECTURE FIRM

Site-specific. Client-specific. Always.

Design is not a style - it’s a response. To the land. The light. The way you live. The way you want to feel.

Every ZED project begins with those conditions. From there, the architecture takes shape, guided by the site, informed by local context, and aligned with your sensibility.

  • Design Visualization

    Before anything is built, you'll be able to see it—in three dimensions, in detail, and in context. 

    We produce a full range of renderings and visualizations so every design decision is understood before it's made. 

    What materials look like together. How a room feels at a given scale. What the light does at different times of day. You won't be asked to imagine it. You'll be able to see it.

  • Comfort and Health 

    We specify low- and no-VOC materials throughout, removing pollutants at the source before they become a problem.

    We design ventilation systems that ensure a constant supply of fresh outdoor air, so the house breathes properly regardless of the season.

    Healthy buildings aren't a specialty service at ZED. They're the baseline every project starts from.

  • Building Science

    Building science brings physics and construction into alignment.

    By understanding how heat, air, moisture, and energy move through a building, we design systems that work in concert - delivering comfort, durability, and performance.

    These principles guide every project, and we stay engaged through construction to ensure they are executed with precision.
