In
these tumultuous times, our clients are calling on us to examine
the work from exacting points of view. Issues of overall building
size, efficient use of space, energy and materials are of principal
importance.
We
have found that by spending slightly more of our budgets on the
sophistication of the building envelope, the windows, the construction
methods, the insulation and the detailing, we can radically reduce
the amount of energy required to condition spaces.
Clients
have always come to us with an appreciation of the beauty of what
we do. Now we can offer another layer in the capacity of architecture
to influence the quality of our lives.
Coupling
efficiency with architectural presence would very well describe
what our work has become.
