Welcome to Sustainable Design

SDC, Sustainable Design, Inc. is an Architectural Design firm specializing in the design of new construction and the remodeling of existing residences and small businesses with sustainability as the cornerstone of our design criteria. Our commitment is to innovatively and ecologically design projects utilizing our multidisciplinary knowledgebase, which spans architecture, engineering, financial awareness and product expertise. SDC originates designs that are tailored to a Client's way of life, environmental ideology and a very unique sense of style.

We believe that great design should enhance the value of every environment, make optimal use of space, elicit an emotional response, and use less energy with existing technology and design philosophy than currently used by most designers today. Our designs are inspired by our clients, the surrounding landscape and environment, resulting in an architecture that is uniquely formed by both subject and space.

What is Sustainable Design

In architecture, sustainable design is not the attachment or supplement of architectural design, but an integrated design process. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers and the client at all project stages, from site selection, scheme formation, material selection, procurement and project implementation. Sustainable design is a design philosophy and practice in which products and services contribute to social well-being, make sound economic sense with negligible impact on the environment, as products and design selection is produced from a sustainable resource base. As such, sustainable design encompasses the practice of eco-design, with due attention to economic, environmental, ethical and social factors.

We strive to incorporate sustainable thinking into everyday life. Passive design in architecture incorporated with product selection is key to overall sustainability and client satisfaction.
