Doing it Right
We're determined to design homes that are as practical, comfortable, energy efficient, and healthy to live in as possible based on the decisions outlined in this article.
Facelifts
Saving what we can of an existing home is perhaps the most 'green' thing we can do as architects and builders.
House Parts: Roofs
Snow on your roof (or the lack of snow) can say a lot about how your house loses heat
House Parts: Siding
Get some insight on the types of siding materials we use in our designs, and see an example of a siding installation in progress.
House Parts: Windows
the better you build and insulate your house walls, roof and foundation, the better windows you need to install. It all kind of goes hand in hand
House Parts: Insulation
The number one rule in creating an energy efficient building is 'first address the envelope', meaning make the outer shell of the house as tight and well insulated as possible.
House Parts: Ceiling Fans
We encourage the use of ceiling fans—specially in energy efficient houses because they make such an impact.
