Thinking Green
As Architects, it has always been our responsibility to provide good design solutions at the very least and innovative ones where possible. Good, thoughtful design has always embodied sustainable roots and Green intentions, and, whether we were conscious of it, global awareness and local concern has finally defined and pronounced these sustainable ideals as essential and obvious.
Many of our projects are designed to Green building standards including LEED, Passive House and One Planet Living, and have been recognized with Canadian Green Building Awards, CHRA Sustainability Awards and multiple ASHRAE Chapter Awards.
