Site Evaluation

Every sustainable home begins with listening to the land. Whether you already own a property or are casually looking for the perfect setting of your next home, we can help guide you. We will assess your site's solar orientation, prevailing winds, topography, drainage patterns, and existing vegetation to reveal the opportunities a property already holds — shaping a design strategy that works with nature rather than against it.

passive systems review

The most elegant energy systems require no switch to flip. We analyze and optimize strategies for natural heating, cooling, daylighting, and ventilation — ensuring your home performs through careful form, orientation, and material selection before mechanical systems ever enter the conversation. We identify design moves that reduce overall energy demand from the ground up and ensure we are always at the forefront of renewable natural materials that enhance your home’s beauty and ensure's its legacy.

Architectural design

Where environmental intelligence meets thoughtful beauty. We develop a design that is deeply specific to your site, your lifestyle, and your values — producing spaces that feel both inevitable and inspired, with a light footprint and a lasting sense of place. We will learn about you and your needs during the discovery phase. From there we develop 2-3 schematic designs and present the ideas to you for feedback. Lastly, we will refine the plans and details in the design development phase.

Construction documents

Precision is the bridge between vision and reality. We prepare a complete set of technical drawings and specifications that communicate the full intent of the design — giving contractors the clarity they need to build it right, and giving you confidence every detail has been considered.

construction administration

Good buildings are built, not just drawn. We remain actively involved throughout construction — reviewing submittals, responding to field questions, and making site visits to ensure the finished building acurately reflects the design and meets the quality it deserves.

native Landscaping

A sustainable home doesn't stop at the foundation. Alongside landscape architects, we evaluate your site's existing ecology and develop planting strategies rooted in native and regionally adapted species — restoring habitat, reducing water demand, and weaving your home into the living landscape around it.
