Sustainability & Building Performance
Forward thinking design
Performance is at the heart of design. We believe sustainable design can defy expectations and propel our communities into the future. Our goal? To help you realize the full potential of your projects for the long-term and make informed decisions based on life cycle cost savings, operational and embodied carbon emissions reduction, resiliency, and positive health and well-being outcomes for every member of every community.
We consult, plan, and design at every scale of built, natural, and organizational environments. Whether you’re exploring opportunities to reduce your real estate carbon emissions, assessing and planning for the impacts of climate change, or are aligning your commitments to carbon, climate, and well-being at a corporate level, our team offers guidance through the process.
Our integrated approach considers climate risk and vulnerabilities, building and site performance modeling, passive and net zero design, regulatory requirements, third-party certifications such as LEED®, WELL Building, and Passive House, and post-occupancy assessment. Why? Because we know taking a sustainable approach isn’t just smart practice, it’s essential for our shared future.
We want our clients and communities to be prepared for the long term—informed and empowered to make smart environmental and social choices. So, we design spaces and places that enable visionary change.
