SUSTAINABILITY

Ole Sondresen Architect strongly believes any relevant design must include an all-encompassing holistic approach to the notion of sustainability as it directly impacts building inhabitants and energy costs, as well as the future of our urban and natural environment. The health of our colleagues, contractors, clients and their families is as much a priority as any other, guiding our specific design decisions, material choices and project specifications. In this regard, all of our built projects incorporate the use of reclaimed, salvaged or recycled materials, natural light, energy efficient lighting, appliances and efficient building systems, whenever possible. While the positive effects of these choices, reducing waste, energy consumption and long-term building costs, is undeniable, they also improve the experience of the user by adding richly, contextual layers, improving air and lighting quality.
