We specialize in healthy, resilient, cost-effective building design and planning. As industry leaders in Passive House, our approach to sustainability is deeply rooted in our in-house energy modeling and integrated design capabilities, and the belief that green design should be both beautiful and affordable.
Our in-house team of certified consultants carry out Design Certification through the Passive House Institute US (Phius), resulting in closer coordination with the design process and more integrated outcomes. This also allows us to make the most cost-effective decisions early on and to maximize financial incentives and benefits.
The Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library Renovation was recognized with an AIA COTE Top Ten Award in 2022 for its sustainable design and renovation. This award recognizes projects that excel in both design and environmental performance. The Roxbury Branch was specifically commended for its energy efficiency improvements, including new windows, insulation, and roofing, which reduced its energy consumption by 40%. The renovation also preserved the original concrete structure of the 1970s building while expanding usable space by 20%.
