Green Architect

Aug 8, 2011

We don’t do the work to get recognition, we don’t do the work to find glory, we don’t do the work for ourselves. I think that is the difference between those that just show up and those that change a community for the better. We work hard to find the value of our clients and express them in their projects. We find ways to save them money, maximize their investment, and add value to the design. This is ‘sustainable’ design. There should be no debate about whether you should or should not go green. You have an ethical obligation to yourself, your children, your community to use the resources available as best able. There can be no waste in true success. There can be no destruction in true growth. Let’s join together to make our community strong. Let’s join together to make a difference.
