| Design Philosophy A home is a very personal building. It is the place where you spend your quiet and intimate times, the place you guard and nurture your family as well as a place you entertain friends and relatives. It should not only accommodate your activities but also reflect your lifestyle, tastes, and interests. Sustainability Architecture, LLC uses an integrated approach to project planning by creating a design team including you, the owner, architect, and builder, and involve them in an iterative process to refine the design of each project. Including these team members early in the creative process reduces changes and enables a holistic design. |

| Design Services and Methodology Personalized service is the hallmark of our approach to design. A typical project design starts with an in-depth analysis of the site, the owners' budget, needs, goals and tastes together with the function of the project. We also consider the owners' physical conditions, chemical sensitivities, and allergies, etc. that will affect the design. We put this together in a written program of spaces (rooms or areas) with an analysis of what is to be accommodated in each space. We spend more time on this part of the design process than most designers but the outcome is a design that is more in tune with clients' expectations. We then design the project to meet the developed program. The design is presented to the owner several times during the design process to avoid costly changes during construction. Each presentation is in the form of a 3D virtual model so the client can see what their project will look like prior to accepting the design. |
