Ethos

The Architecture and Construction sector play a pivotal role in the stewardship of our planet’s resources and health.

Construction and maintenance presently account for over 40% of the U.S. carbon emissions.

11% of the industry’s carbon emissions are derived from the manufacturer of materials.

The current housing models depend on large amounts of high-energy materials, mass-manufactured overseas products with short lifespans.

If we are to halt the progress of ecological breakdown, we need to radically rethink the logic of current construction methods, the materials we use, and our approach to growth.

While we are not perfect, we offer better options and less harmful ways to build.

Sustainability in construction involves minimizing the environmental impact throughout the building lifecycle, from design and construction to operation and demolition.

This includes the use of eco-friendly materials, implementing energy-efficient systems, reducing waste, and creating healthy indoor environments. It also includes promoting healthier, safer, and equitable work environments and practices for workers and laborers.

What if every single act of design and construction made the world a better place?
