Studio G Architects believes we have a unique opportunity and social responsibility, as intermediaries between people and space, to leverage the creative potential of design to develop forms that respond to individual needs and the challenges defining our era. Leading the list of threats is global warming and its consequences and implications for our rural, suburban and urban landscapes. We embrace the critical role designers play in confronting this issue, and we utilize the full range of sustainable principles, practices and technologies in our work to renew humanity’s reciprocal relationship with the environment and preserve our planet’s built and natural landscapes.
Our understanding of sustainability encompasses economic and social viability, as well as environmental issues. As such we are devoted to supporting institutions and organizations that, with big visions and modest means, make a difference in the communities they serve by donating architectural services to non-profits through the 1% Solution, a resource for pro bono architecture. In them we find allies and supporters for creating vibrant, livable and sustainable communities.
We integrate environmentally sensitive and sensible materials and techniques into our projects to minimize the use of non-renewable resources. We investigate the life cycle value of systems and materials to ensure efficient use of limited resources. We balance these considerations against the client’s specific constraints, to develop responsive, buildable designs that reflect their values and support their priorities.
For us, sustainable communities are distinguished by architecture that is:Environmentally sensitivePeople-centeredPlace-specificMixed-use
