New Building
From an array of approaches and means, singular new forms.
Guiding principles
• Improve the natural environment in step with the built one.
• Look at the budget as a guiding force, not a limitation.
• Build in ways that maximize energy efficiency while minimizing waste.
• Make the best use of local, sustainable and recycled materials.
• Create tight structures that promote healthful indoor air quality.
• Use non-toxic finishes that won't harm occupants or the eco-system.
• Pool the insight and expertise of the group at every step: client, builder, engineer and architect.
• Respect the site by building in harmony with existing patterns: urban, suburban or rural.
