What We Actually Do

We've spent years figuring out how buildings can work with nature instead of against it. Here's how we can help bring your vision to life.

Every project's different, and that's what keeps things interesting. We don't do cookie-cutter designs – we listen to what you need, look at what the site's telling us, and come up with solutions that actually make sense.

Residential Architecture

Residential Architecture

Homes aren't just boxes with windows. We design spaces where you'll actually want to spend time – places that feel right, use less energy, and age gracefully. Whether it's a ground-up build or breathing new life into an existing space, we focus on how you live day-to-day.

What's Included:
  • Site analysis and feasibility studies
  • Custom design development from concept to construction
  • Energy modeling and passive design strategies
  • Material selection focused on longevity and low impact
  • Construction documentation and contractor coordination
Sustainability Impact
Energy Reduction: Up to 45%
Water Savings: 30-40%
Carbon Offset: 60% avg
Material Reuse: 25%+
Commercial Building Design

Commercial Building Design

Commercial projects need to work hard – for your bottom line and your people. We've done offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments that don't sacrifice sustainability for functionality. Good design here means happier employees, lower operating costs, and buildings that stand out for the right reasons.

What's Included:
  • Programming and space planning optimization
  • Brand integration and identity expression
  • Code compliance and accessibility standards
  • Daylighting and natural ventilation strategies
  • Long-term operational efficiency planning
Sustainability Impact
Energy Reduction: 35-50%
Operating Costs: -40%
Occupant Satisfaction: +55%
Carbon Neutral: Target
Sustainable Urban Planning

Sustainable Urban Planning

Cities are complicated, but they don't have to be chaotic. We work on neighborhood plans, transit-oriented developments, and public spaces that bring communities together instead of pushing them apart.

What's Included:
  • Master planning and zoning analysis
  • Community engagement and consultation
  • Transit and mobility integration
  • Green infrastructure networks
Impact
Walkability: +65% Green Space: +40%
Green Building Certification

Green Building Certification

LEED, Passive House, Living Building Challenge – we've navigated them all. These certifications aren't just plaques on the wall; they're proof that your building performs as promised and often unlock grants and incentives.

What's Included:
  • Certification path selection and strategy
  • Documentation and submittal management
  • Performance verification and testing
  • Post-occupancy monitoring
Impact
Property Value: +7-15% Resale Premium: +10%
Interior Space Design

Interior Space Design

The shell's only half the story. We design interiors that feel cohesive with the architecture, using materials that won't off-gas toxins and layouts that adapt as your needs change over time.

What's Included:
  • Space planning and flow analysis
  • Low-VOC material specifications
  • Lighting design and acoustic control
  • Built-in furniture and millwork design
Impact
Air Quality: +80% Natural Light: +70%
Landscape Architecture Integration

Landscape Architecture Integration

Your site's ecosystem was there before you showed up, and it'll be there after. We don't fight against it – we work with it. Native plantings, rainwater management, habitat preservation... it's all part of making a project feel like it belongs.

What's Included:
  • Native species selection and planting plans
  • Stormwater management and bioswales
  • Outdoor living space design
  • Hardscape material selection
  • Wildlife habitat integration
Sustainability Impact
Water Retention: 75%+
Biodiversity: +90%
Urban Heat: -5-8°C
Carbon Sequestration: High

Our Process (The Real One)

Look, every project's a bit different, but here's generally how things flow when we work together:

1
Discovery & Listen

We grab coffee and actually listen to what you're trying to accomplish

2
Site Analysis

We spend time on-site studying sun patterns, wind, views, and constraints

3
Concept Development

Rough sketches, models, ideas – we explore possibilities together

4
Design Refinement

We nail down the details, run energy models, pick materials
