Builder philosophy: "My major
principle is to think about
sustainability from the start –
don’t back into it after you have a
project fully designed. The best
green projects look holistically at
what can be done in a sustainable
method from where the home is
situated, the orientation, the
design, the installations, the
operation & (finally) the finishes."
