High Performance Building
Build Better
As a high performance builder we collaborate with clients and architects to create buildings of beauty, durability, comfort, and performance. Our systems-based understanding of how buildings function enables us to deliver projects that boast both unmatched resilience and revolutionary energy efficiency, reducing building energy consumption for heating and cooling by 90%.
Our advanced modeling tools coupled with our in-the-dirt practical experience allow us to give architects and clients more freedom to make the aesthetic and programmatic design decisions they need without compromising building performance.
Passive House
Passive House buildings, both residential and commercial, reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by 80-90% compared to conventional structures. Super-insulated walls hold warmth in the winter and cool in the summer while a continuous supply of fresh air ensures unparalleled indoor air quality.

High Performance Doors & Windows
Our high performance doors combine 20+ years of traditional woodworking with the building science knowledge gained through national leadership in Passive House construction.
Our custom doors not only meet the most stringent thermal performance requirements, they support the aesthetics of any project: beautiful, bespoke, and expertly crafted. All specifications are fully customizable.
Best Practices Manual
Our Best Practices Manual is the product of our ongoing work to document and internally codify our standard operating procedures. It has evolved into a guidebook of field-tested construction details, many shaped by our experience in high performance passive building.
We have made this information open-source in the spirit of collaboration.
