Ahh…
Do you want a comfortable building? Buildings shelter us. They’re the settings for our lives: where we work, play, sleep, cook, eat, converse, and so much more. They should be comfortable, fulfilling places to inhabit.
What is comfort for you? A welcoming entry, cozy nook, delightful kitchen, or hearth to warm your feet by. Warm in winter, cool in summer, healthy and light-filled. Good acoustics and delightful views. Nurturing spaces that support the ways you live, work, and play.
Making a building comfortable helps make it sustainable. Leaky, poorly-insulated buildings make us miserable and waste energy. Well-designed, well-crafted buildings are comfortable, healthy, durable, and efficient. That helps us, and the planet, thrive.

"We just feel so comfortable in our house and it works so well.”
“Even when it’s cold outside the house stays comfortable, unlike before — there aren’t big drafts from leaks and cold air falling down the windows and onto the floors.”
“The way the sun penetrates to the farthest north corner of the first floor in the dead of winter is wonderful. We’re constantly aware of the light and move through the house to its rhythm and patterns.”
