Everywhere you turn now, things are “going green”? What does this mean for building design? Well, in some cases, it means going back to basics, and in other cases it means taking a leap forward.

Certainly, the old ways of powering your home are out, being replaced by, as President Obama states “harnessing the air, sun and soil” to give up our dependance on fossil fuels.

For many building materials, however, the green decision is to stay local, keep it simple, and utilize products that are as little processed as possible.

I work with clients to understand their budget, values and priorities to maximize sound decision making with an eye towards low impact, long lasting products with a minimal carbon footprint.
