The Architecture Studio prides itself on continually pushing the envelope when it comes to 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. To date we have had:
- 1 LEED for Homes Platinum Level Certified Project
- 2 LEED for Homes Gold Level Certified Projects
- 3 LEED for Homes Silver Level Certified Projects
- 1 LEED for Homes Certified Level Certified Project
- 12 LEED for Homes Projects currently under construction or awaiting certification
- 10 completed Energy Star Projects
- 5 in construction Energy Star Projects
Our services for sustainable 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. 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.
