Green Building
Sustainable or “green” building is not a catchphrase for environmentalism. More appropriately, It is sound building practice based on the latest science. Sustainable design not only addresses the bottom line, but lifecycle and maintenance costs, energy efficiency, community amenities, and reusable materials. It considers regional climate, solar orientation, and the long-term impact of development. Construction and development have a tremendous impact on our cities and landscapes. Through proper analysis we can minimize the negative aspects of this impact.
Studio Momentum is dedicated to the pursuit of inventive, sustainable design solutions that are sensitive to their environment and context. Whether it is the adaptive reuse of an historic warehouse, or a custom home in the hill country, we strive to create personal spaces that evoke a sense of place.
Studio Momentum has participated in Austin Energy’s Green Building Program since 2001.
