Green Design

Green Design promotes positive environmental decisions.  Careful and sensitive planning can eliminate the negative impacts associated with conventional residential construction, and add lifetime value to your home.

Green Design, more accurately described as Sustainable Design, is good design and has always been an inherent part of our thinking.  It helps guide the steps of the design process, from site selection to the specification of building materials.

While there is no one single template for a Sustainable Home, we at Whitten Architects believe that the planning and design of one should be based on the following five principles.

Read more about each principle below:

• Sustainable Site Design
• Conservation of Natural Resources
• Energy Efficiency
• Design for Health & Comfort
• Long-term Durability
