We work with nature
to create places that are efficient, replenishing, and durable.
Climate adapted buildings remain cool in summer and warm in winter
because they employ sensible design strategies that manipulate sunlight,
shade, ventilation and thermal mass. Design for bioregion incorporates
vernacular building traditions that have been developed in response
to the topographic and climatic qualities of place. These traditions
often incorporate what today's architects would call passive solar
strategies. These strategies have helped to heat and cool buildings
for centuries. Indigo's environments serve human needs with a minimum
of wasted resources, using local, recycled, and renewable materials
whenever possible.
We weave culture,
art and functionality together to help people communicate, work, and
live well. Our approach dictates that we work with the specifics of
local climate. It also dictates that we work with people. All our designs
rely on meaningful collaboration with our clients and users to insure
that the spaces we create will optimally serve the people who will use
them.
