SolarTerra LLC will design your home to satisfy your personal criteria, such as energy-efficiency, comfort, healthy interior, durability, outdoor spaces, low maintenance, public and private spaces, sustainability, lifestyle, etc. We use our passive solar and off-grid design expertise coupled with effective construction management practices to design custom homes that are durable, energy efficient, healthy and "green". SolarTerra LLC uses an "integrated systems" approach throughout the design and construction processes to ensure multiple inter-dependent design elements, materials and systems are incorporated effectively and efficiently. SolarTerra LLC's architectural design services, including the integration of sustainable building materials and systems, are tailored to meet our client's off-grid or conventionally sited home's requirements. SolarTerra LLC provides a Home & Systems Manual with each project describing the various components/systems of the home, as well as how to live in it and maintain the home "as a system" throughout the years. Architectural Design Services
Architects and designers are constantly challenged by their clients to incorporate new and healthier technologies and lower life-cycle costs into their projects. In addition, many people are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of home construction and are looking for more eco-friendly building materials and systems. Some local governments are requiring that their new buildings and remodels are "certified" to local, regional or national certifications (such as LEED or Energy Star). These challenges are occurring in an industry with lagging "green building" design and system integration expertise, unfamiliar product options and local building regulations that are constantly changing and evolving. SolarTerra LLC's design expertise matches appropriate sustainable products and systems to a client's requirements, and works with building inspectors that are sometimes unfamiliar with alternative materials and systems to educate and obtain permits.
