In these tumultuous times, our clients are calling on us to examine the work from exacting points of view. Issues of overall building size, efficient use of space, energy and materials are of principal importance.
We have found that by spending slightly more of our budgets on the sophistication of the building envelope, the windows, the construction methods, the insulation and the detailing, we can radically reduce the amount of energy required to condition spaces.
Clients have always come to us with an appreciation of the beauty of what we do. Now we can offer another layer in the capacity of architecture to influence the quality of our lives.
Coupling efficiency with architectural presence would very well describe what our work has become.
