The Architecture Studio prides itself on continually pushing the envelope when it comes to "Green" and sustainable design. Not only can we design for environmental systems like Energy Star but we can also design to meet the stringent demands of the LEED for Homes and Green Building Standard rating systems. We were very proud to be the first firm in the state of Indiana to register and certify a LEED for Homes apartment building, but we are thrilled about our new LEED and Energy Star projects.
Our services for green design can be as minimal as a one on one consultation or as vast as complete documentation and project management by a LEED Accredited Professional for BD&C (commericial) or Homes, which are both on staff. We also offer opportunities to educate and train your staff, project management teams, and subcontractors onsite. Whether you are interested in designing from scratch or retrofitting to include energy saving and environmentally friendly features we have the right staff and experience to handle it, with you or for you.
