MISSION STATEMENT

Living Systems’ mission is to further the sustainability of life by addressing the design, construction and life cycle of our built environment for you and for generations to come.

A healthy and sustainable lifestyle is the result of smart choices. Smart choices are the result of up-to-date information. Living Systems is dedicated to empowering its clients to make informed decisions about how they want to live now and what they will leave for future generations. Recognizing that buildings consume about half of all energy in the United States and are, therefore, responsible for nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions,


Living Systems has taken a leadership role in establishing and practicing sustainable building standards and ethics that:

• Exceed LEED for Homes standards
• Provide for health and comfort
• Create affordable, quality buildings
• Result in a pleasing regional aesthetic

DESIGN/BUILD

      A Different Kind of Architectural Practice

Living Systems is also dedicated to making your sustainable design-build project a wise financial decision. Through the practice of VALUE ENGINEERING, a method that both controls and reduces costs, enough money will be saved to pay for the architectural fee and more. READ MORE about why DESIGN/BUILD is the better choice when it comes to realizing your dream home.

POURED EARTH

     High Mass for Comfort, Health and Energy Savings

Although Living Systems designs and builds houses using various sustainable wall materials, it is Poured Earth for which we are known. Creating aesthetically pleasing, textural, 16” thick, high mass walls, Living Systems designs for health, comfort, art, and ease of maintenance.
