A collection of projects built on the philosophy of sustainable
concepts, sustainable materials, and renewable spaces representing healthy interior environments. These environments are designed with the following criteria in mind:
- Indoor air quality
- Alternatives energies
- Sustainability and life cycle analysis
- Recycling/reuse
- Landfill impact.
The most crucial issue of the environmental practice is the opportunity to create new bio-technologies based on sustainable
practices. Currently landfills are less available, demolition is an expensive option, no longer politically correct, and not in our best interests.
J S D A 's awareness and sensitivity towards this issue is an integral part of its design philosophy. Research indicates a significant lower long term cost for
environments built with renewable spaces and products. "I congratulate you on the professional skills that went into the result, but also as importantly on your ability to ferret and sell
the concept from the outset." - - Mr. Robin H. H. Wilson, President and Chief Operating Officer Western Airlines
"In the conceptual stages, your imagination
and vision were an inspiration to all of us...as we got into the very great challenge and complexities of executing the concept, you really took over and managed things with terrific organization and
calm." - - Mr. Mark Merson, President Eco Expo "From my point of view, one of the most impressive displays was the Environmental Office that Janice Stevenor Dale put
together. To date, it is the most tasteful and comprehensive within its focus that I have seen..." - - Mr. Brian A. Sehnert AIA, Senior Architect/Planner New Construction Services |
