Welcome to the Sustainable Design Group. We are here to guide you through the process of building or renovating your home or light commercial building and to make it as healthy, energy efficient and harmonious with the environment as possible.

Our mission since 1973 has been to design and build buildings in complete harmony and balance with nature and self-sufficient in energy, water, waste and food production. We have the technology to harness the solar, wind and biological cycles to provide a complete life support system for people through integrated design that mimics nature. By working with the forces of nature and the resources of your site, we can provide all the basic life support functions of the home including: healthy shelter, clean water, waste processing, hot water, cooking, heating, cooling and electricity. When integrated with a garden and/or green house, the home can even provide food and income.

If you are looking for a home that supports a healthy family environment, lowers utility costs, creates harmony with nature, and just feels good, you have come to the right place. We look forward to working with you.
