Trillium Architects - How we're Different

Over the past 40+ years of the green building movement, we’ve gained hands-on experience with evolving products, technologies, and practices. In our region, we’ve seen green building interest grow from nearly nonexistent to highly popular:
• 2004: Only about 10% of our clients requested green features.
• 2012: Nearly 98% of our clients wanted at least some “Shade of Green.”
• Today: We’re known as one of the region’s most experienced and dedicated green firms.
We believe that what seems “cutting edge” now will soon be standard practice. Building green today means your home will still feel relevant, efficient, and marketable decades into the future.
What Are Our Goals?
Sustainable. Eco-friendly. Natural. Healthy. Efficient.
Our goal is to simply create a “Green Home”:
• Sustainable, Earth-Friendly, Eco-Friendly
• Natural Materials, Healthy, Non-Toxic, No-VOC
• Clean, Excellent Indoor Air Quality, Low Maintenance
• Energy Efficient, All-Electric, Net-Zero
• Passive House, LEED Certified, Off-the-Grid

At its core, a Green Home is a healthy, efficient, and future-ready home that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing comfort, health, cost savings and longevity.
