Over the
years, the firm has completed a variety of sustainably designed
projects ranging from small residential additions to state-of-the-art
automotive maintenance facilities for a large local school
district. Located in a diversity of both urban and rural
settings, each of the firm's sustainable projects has been
an exploration into site-specific architecture and the judicious
use of available sustainable resources. Whether a multi-unit
Independent Living Facility in the red rock country of Gallup,
New Mexico, or a single family rammed earth residence in
the high desert region of the southern Black Range, our
work maintains a sensitivity to project context and the
environment, and a stresses the use of available sustainable
resources. Daylight, natural ventilation, and passive solar
design features increase the livability of our designs and
help create a healthy and dynamic sense of place for the
building's occupants.
