As an office we work toward our own sustainability goals. We compensate employees for using alternative transportation to and from work. We send staff to conferences every year to keep abreast of what is happening in the larger world. We go sketching and visit local craftspeople and manufacturers. At critical times during a project, we visit the site to see construction methods and learn from our colleagues’ experiences and celebrate the work. Additonally, we take an afternoon off here and there to have some fun together in this beautiful part of the world we call home.
