Architectural Planning Design and Construction

A commitment to sustainable architecture has been

a part of our practice for over three decades. We

develop landscape/site and building designs that

harmonize with the overall goals of our clients

while maximizing the beauty of the project sites.

The project’s sustainable focus prompted the school’s principal and teachers to integrate sustainability into the

school curriculum and parents to donate time and materials to expand the garden. Developing a tangible example

of sustainable design for use by school-aged children and the community allowed the team to pursue broad fund-

raising and promotional opportunities.

Completed: 2008
