What is green building without the green? Involved in the design process from the beginning, this team adds aesthetic and functional value to the home as landscape components function harmoniously with the home’s interior needs. A constructed wetland recycles greywater, vegetated panels shade the home in warm weather, a tank collects rainwater for irrigation, and carefully selected plants create ambiance and provide a source of food.
