"Everything in life matters and ultimately has a place, an impact, and a meaning." -Laurens Van Der Post, "A Far-Off Place"

We help to create surroundings and products that connect people with their environment. As your partner, we educate and assist you in making conscious choices and you decide what we incorporate into your project.

Our "guidelines" to selecting sustainable products include materials that:

•	will support healthy living
•	will contribute to operating energy efficiency
•	are durable, long-life materials requiring little or no additional finishes, and minimal maintenance
•	are manufactured from renewable resources and harvested in a sustainable manner
•	have recycled content, and are recyclable
•	are salvaged and reusable building materials
•	require minimal manufacturing and processing, and have low embodied energy
•	are local materials and can be disposed of safely
•	omit unnecessary by-product during the manufacturing process; thereby, lessening waste
