Soon all new buildings in California will be required to produce more energy than they use, that is, be "Net Zero Energy" or "NZE." Energy efficient and environmentally sensitive design has been our specialty for over four decades. Being energy conscious and aware of life-cycle of products can be very cost effective; buildings that use resources well can be less expensive than those that don't. Most of our buildings have used passive solar design as well as different types of active systems; some have been earth sheltered.

We design custom homes of all types and sizes. We work together with you on the design of your home so you can get what YOU want. We can create a new custom home or remodel your existing house. It isn't even necessary to have land when you come to us; we can help you locate desirable properties. Give us a call and we will be happy to visit you for a free no-obligation consultation. Living in an urban multi-story building can be exciting - shops, theaters, restaurants within walking distance; your self-contained home secure behind just one locked door when you work or travel.
