Our Mission

Good design encompasses both the needs of the client and the technical possibilities of the project.  Our design process translates our client's vision into sustainable, cost-effective, innovative and functional solutions.  We consider environmental, technological and historical concerns, as well as safety, accessibility, maintenance and return on investment for each project.

An EcoSmart Building is a home or structure that is ecologically responsive and economical.  It is healthier for you, your family, and the planet.  It does not waste resources, off-gas toxins, or unnecessarily harm the environment.  An Eco Smart Building has a minimal environmental footprint - reducing the amount of energy and resource usage, while saving the owners and tenants money on the energy bills and improving its surrounding environment long into the future.

Our work is influenced by an environmentally conscious design approach. We seek to successfully integrate disparate elements, ideas and systems into the final solution in each of our projects as a complex and refined solution that embodies our client‘s objectives, the community's interests, and unique qualities of the site.

Projects have included building rehabilitation and redevelopment, mixed-use sites including sensitive sustainable development, resource and energy conservation, and space redevelopment and design.

We approach all of our projects with an innovative sustainable strategy, assembling custom teams of experts from across many disciplines to meet each project challenge. Our experience in alternative residential and mixed-use construction methods includes sustainable materials, green building methods and energy efficiency issues.

We keep up to date on the latest developments in green and sustainable technologies through continuing education, presenting and analyzing case studies and regularly attending conferences. We stay informed and are familiar with the latest changes in policy and certification standards like Energy Star, Green Globes, BREEAM, and LEED.  We bring this expertise to your project so that it encompasses the best practices of green design and construction.  Green design saves you money - through reducing energy consumption and maintenance needs.
