Sustainability
Expertise
Sustainability is on the minds of forward-thinking developers and very much a part of our DNA. For almost twenty years, we have designed projects internationally that meet or exceed the world’s most progressive building codes and energy efficiency requirements. Whether it is a large-scale master plan or a single city block, we integrate practical site-specific strategies and advanced building technologies to reduce overall energy consumption. We design projects first and foremost for people and this acknowledgment guides our holistic approach to creating healthy, energy-efficient environments. At the onset of any project, we look at ways to incorporate natural light, limit heat gain, facilitate cross-ventilation, and increase shading to promote healthy physical activity throughout the site. Our highly-trained staff are up on the latest advances in alternative energies, water collection, water management, and solar heat reduction. Working alongside our clients, we are committed to developing comprehensive strategies that align their short-term budget with a project’s long-term Sustainability. In short, our approach to Sustainability is to add value over time by addressing the longevity of a project at its very inception.
