How much time do you spend indoors?

Of course, the answer will vary. The truth is in our modern society, Americans spend about ninety percent of their time indoors! Of that time, sixty five percent is spent in our own homes.

Recent studies have shown that indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air. In fact indoor air is quite often a cause of greater health problems than the polluted air we may encounter outside our homes.

How does one design with sustainability in mind?

With sustainable design, the planning phase is the most vital. The work comes at the beginning of the process and the rewards later. Early decisions are the most crucial, so allow time for conceptual thinking. In addition to living healthy, the economic rewards for sustainable design are also desirable.

Simply stated, the goal of green building is to design a space that is: as comfortable as it is energy and resource efficient and as functional and long lived as possible. And most of all, the space should promote the well-being of its occupants and the earth.

What is Interior Architecture + Design?

Interior architecture and design is a professional field linking architecture, art, interior design, and product design. This combination of design principles creates spaces that are functional, efficient and aesthetic.

Interior architecture and design addresses the issues of re-use and transformation of existing structures through an innovative and progressive approach. This includes planning interior space and shaping it to respond to the architecture that encloses it, the needs of its inhabitants, and the design and supervision of the execution of architectural interiors, including their color schemes, furnishings and finishes.
