We are very pleased with the design of the renovation. By removing some interior walls and ceilings the house was transformed and the energy saving features that were suggested by the designer have made our home comfortable and energy efficient in all seasons.

We interviewed 4-5 architects and building firms to remodel and expand our little 1951 rambler. We were immediately impressed with sustainable design. John, the president of the firm, was respectful and responsive to our concerns and ideas. He answered questions and gave us houses to visit to see their work. We also liked the idea that green, energy efficient materials were incorporated in the design and building costs. Working with the architects was easy. They saw our vision and took our inspiration pictures to create a beautiful space. For example, our dining room was created exactly like our inspiration picture. Construction was made easier with a responsive team. We always had someone on site. John remained engaged throughout the project. Sean, Vice President and head of construction, was responsive to concerns and had regular meetings with us. Venders we were referred to were courteous, helpful and helped us stay on budget. When issues arose, Sean was quick to engage us so we could resolve the problem as quickly as possible. For example, in our older home, the electricity was very out of date and we were given several options to resolve the issue. We were never pushed into ideas, finishings or designs we didn't like. Now we have a beautiful home that matches our vision and our style where we can raise our family.

Project was de novo design and construction of a >$1M home that included solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources together with engineering designs that utilized/conserved passive energy. The home included other unusual features such as an indoor greenhouse with swimming pool. The architectural plans integrated these features in a creative and seamless fashion. Construction was of high standard. The builders were able to deal efficiently with unforeseen issues, such as running into a rock ledge. No regrets about choosing this designer/builder and no reservations about recommending to others.

Sustainable Design did a beautiful job from beginning to end on our addition. This work involved integrating with former Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired renovation. This included engineering a highly-insulated structure that would allow true corner windows, matching masonry, adding high efficiency HVAC, and beautiful natural wood and tile finishes. The design and project management staff was very creative and responsive to our needs.
We would certainly use them again and recommend them to others.

Sustainable Design was very knowledgeable and helpful with both the architectural design and construction process. All involved were very accommodating and responsive. John is particularly creative and has tremendous expertise with all facets of energy efficient design. He understands what is practical and what is not. When presented with a design challenge he immediately begins analyzing the options and quickly comes up with a solution.

Sustainable Design just finished a 3 story addition/renovation of our home. We went from a small, dark, 3 bedroom colonial to an open, light-filled, modern home.
They blended the traditional and contemporary themes seamlessly, and the quality of work was outstanding. Both the architects and the building team were fabulous to work with- I give them the highest recommendation, and would work with them again.
