Klein McCarthy Architects believes in integrating sustainable design initiatives into every project. Our design philosophy is to first explore every energy saving and sustainable option that has no cost impact as part of our typical design process. LEED certification and the incorporation of critical building elements are sensitive issues that need to be established early in the design criteria.
