     While the firm’s design and planning philosophies have historically included sustainable elements related to an environmental consciousness, these underpinnings of responsible design are now highlighted due to the recent focus on the "green" and "sustainable" movement towards cultural change in terms of how we plan for our resources and environment.

     The firm’s strategy embeds the many elements of sustainable stewardship in its designs, resulting in subtle solutions that are celebrated through their function and performance while contributing to overall aesthetics. 

     These elements include concepts of sustainable communities, cultural behavior and lifestyles, planning and design, and are seen through:

                 Smaller-efficient square footage

                 Sensitivity to building siting and environmental impact

                 Material choices considering up and down-stream impacts
