Building Toward a Healthier Planet
Our high-performance design goes beyond basic requirements seeking to integrate partners, strategies, and practices to enhance long-term resiliency, functionality, and wellbeing.
Implementing High-Performance Standards
As a signatory for AIA 2030 Commitment, we are applying a set of standards and goals to reduce carbon footprints at a range of building scales.

Our practice has extensive experience designing to high-performance building standards: LEED, Passive House, The Living Building Challenge, and Net-Zero energy use.
Bridging Gaps Through Advocacy
Addressing climate realities requires collaborative strategies and engaging in resilience advocacy. Through knowledge sharing and community action, we collectively design a better future for people and our planet.

Wild Bear Nature Center

The building, acts as a living organism, providing opportunities to teach about nature and how we inhabit and sustain the earth. Through its net-positive energy design and programmatic intention, the building is designed to generate more energy than it consumes, integrating 50 kilowatts of photovoltaic solar panels, a super insulated and airtight building envelope, passive solar gain and thermal mass systems, and natural stack ventilation system with highly advanced fresh-air delivery. Carbon positive wood framing will provide additional carbon capture throughout the building.
