About

We specialize in remodels and additions, and believe it’s often more environmentally responsible, and cost-effective, to build on existing architecture than to tear down and build new. We subscribe to the 2030 Challenge, the Living Building Challenge and the Passive House standard, and envision a day when all buildings are not just sustainable and high-performance, but regenerative and restorative, and when the term Green Building is redundant.
