We are an architecture firm and more: designing for our clients (architecture); and designing 'with nature' for a symbiotic relationship with our environment (ecological architecture). We capitalize on 'eco' architecture to reduce or even reverse cost while enhancing quality of life for our grandchildren (sustainable design) - so they can pass on sustainable living and design to their grandchildren (sustainable architecture).
We design with nature to achieve more for each client at reduced cost through energy savings. We preserve the environment and conserve resources for our grandchildren. We believe architecture should support our ecology and our future. That is sustainable design. Brent helped take our ideas and make them workable - he also added some features that we would not have come up with on our own.

The Owner and Users should achieve their needs and desires within their budget, and should achieve optimal return on investment through energy savings and natural design. The local and world ecology should not be degraded but supported, and our grandchildren should have not less but more though our stewardship.
The Giese Residence is a passive-solar home in Quitman MS. Passive solar design allows strategic large areas of glass without negatively impacting energy-efficiency. The two-story volume is designed to receive solar gain in the wintertime and prohibit it during the summer using sheltering overhangs.
By charting EEMs one at a time, it is easy to see which measures have the most impact on cost and energy efficiency and select the best combination. Building Life-Cycle Cost "BLCC" estimating compares various up-front cost options based on various EEMs to determine the best value and optimal payback period for the whole project.
