Rountree Architects, based in Westport, CT is an architectural firm founded in 1990 dedicated to creating structures that are beautiful, functional and energy efficient. We specialize in residential design and offer full architectural services for projects from small additions to new homes. Our design approach is to integrate the client's needs and budget with informed decisions about healthy, environmentally sound construction. We advocate for the use of clean, renewable energy technologies and passive house construction techniques.
John Rountree, Owner and Chief Architect of Rountree Architects, knew from the time he was young that the world in which we live is to be respected and cared for. In college in the early 80's, John developed an interest in solar energy and how it could be used to power buildings from the sun, with no carbon emissions. From 2006 to 2014 John led a solar consulting company along with his business partner, Mark Pizzi, in which they designed solar systems for a variety of building types. This dovetailed quite naturally with Rountree Architects, which John founded himself in 1990.
