The term “sustainability” is used broadly and in a wide variety of contexts, frequently synonymous with green building.  It is our perspective that green building is just one step towards true sustainability, which would require no negative impacts on the environment.  Even still, regenerative design should be the ultimate goal, not “sustainability.”  While the terms sustainability and green design may seem to be used interchangeably within our services and scopes, please note the slight nuances in each situation.

We have chosen this line of work because...
 We hold a new vision of the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
  Our foundations in education bring insight and inspiration to the green building and sustainability movement.
  We believe that process is important, both in the design and in the workplace.
  Everyone has something to learn from green building and sustainability.
