BEAUTIFUL AND AFFORDABLE

How our Designs are Beautiful . . .and Affordable.
Our Healthy and Environmental buildings are beautiful and timeless. You will be able to tell our buildings not by how they look, but by how they feel when you're inside...comfortable, balanced, grounded.

Harmonic Proportions: Proportions found in the natural universe...the golden mean, Pi, square root of 2...resonates with our sense of being balanced and connected. Natural beauty is derived from proportion and relationship.

Timeless Design: Our buildings have a timeless quality that go beyond transient style and fashion while being new and vital.

Feng Shui + Sthapata Ved: Thousands of years ago, in China and India, the art and science of building with environmental energies was developed. We use these basic principles to create spaces that enhance our awareness of how we relate to our world through our buildings.

Bau-Biologie: The science of the holistic interactions between human life and the built environment. It is the study of the impact that the building environment has upon the health of people, and the application of this knowledge for building healthy homes and workplaces.

 

 

 

Thick Walls and Natural Materials: There is no substitute for the real thing. Buildings that only appear to have thick walls and high quality materials feel false and uneasy. Our buildings are made of quality materials and are solid, quiet, and enduring.

"We seem to know the COST of
everything and the VALUE of nothing." 
Oscar Wilde

 

Initial Costs: A surprising level of healthy building can be achieved for very little additional cost. We know where the waste is in the design and construction process, and through value engineering we can achieve dramatic results within limited budgets.

Life Cycle Costs: The true cost of any building is determining the cost of many factors beyond construction cost. When Operating Costs, Maintenance Costs and Replacement costs are considered, our healthy and environmental designs have amazing value.
