Description
What We Offer
We design buildings and spaces that consume less, last longer, and feel better to live in. Whether integrated into a larger architectural project or approached as a design strategy, our work balances performance with beauty.
Included in this service:
Climate-responsive planning and orientation
Passive design and natural ventilation studies
Energy modeling and performance optimization
Low-impact material selection
Lifecycle and carbon impact analysis
Water efficiency and reuse strategies
LEED / WELL / EDGE consultation and compliance
Off-grid or hybrid systems integration
How Sustainable
design Flow
Every project is different — and every context matters.
Here’s how we typically guide clients through sustainable design:
Start with Site and Climate
We study solar exposure, wind, slope, and rainfall — looking for patterns we can work with, not against.
Define Environmental Goals
Together, we establish what matters: energy reduction, material reuse, off-grid potential, or certification.
Model, Simulate, Adapt
We run performance studies and integrate passive strategies from the earliest design stages.
Support + Stewardship
We deliver a sustainability roadmap — complete with drawings, analysis, and expert partners.
Pricing Guidelines
Sustainable design consultation as a standalone service begins at $6,000, and is often integrated into broader design projects.
Full project integration with modeling, material sourcing, and compliance typically ranges from $8,000–$18,000 depending on scope.
Timeline
Sustainability design timelines depend on your project phase.
If integrated with architecture, we embed it into every step.
Standalone services typically require 2 to 3 months, including simulations and recommendations.
